Free Response Question 2: Expression Evaluation

Explore how to evaluate expressions in Java by following variable value changes and operator precedence. Learn to accurately determine variable outcomes in coding problems and prepare effectively for AP Computer Science free-response questions.

Unlike the previous free-response question (FRQ), this FRQ tests your ability to read code and keep track of variables’ values.

The task at hand

On the surface, the challenge seems to be simple. The code below presents a few arithmetic operations on three variables x, y, and z. You need to keep track of the changes in all of these variables. In ...
