Step-by-step evaluation (digit-by-digit style)
1. Calculate exponent: 3^2
3 × 3 = 9
So the expression becomes:
5 - 9 \ 8 + 17 mod 3 * 2 > 1
2. Integer divide 9 \ 8: how many whole times does 8 go into 9?
o 8 × 1 = 8
o 9 − 8 = 1 remainder
So quotient = 1 (remainder 1).
Replace 9 \ 8 with 1. Expression now:
5 - 1 + 17 mod 3 * 2 > 1
3. Compute 17 mod 3: divide 17 by 3 to get remainder:
o 3 × 5 = 15
o 17 − 15 = 2 remainder
So 17 mod 3 = 2. Expression becomes:
5 - 1 + 2 * 2 > 1
4. Multiply 2 * 2:
2 × 2 = 4
Expression now:
5 - 1 + 4 > 1
5. Perform additions/subtractions left to right:
o 5 - 1 = 4
o 4 + 4 = 8
So left-hand side = 8.
6. Compare: 8 > 1 → this is true.
Final result
Numeric evaluation of the left side = 8
Comparison 8 > 1 → True
