Probably
3, because you're dividing two integers and then storing the resulting integer in afloat. But why don't you run it for yourself and find out?

As Richard said, the expression only contains integers and so you should get the result of an integer division (3). However, if at least one of the operands / variables are of float type, all integers will be automatically converted to float type. Say, for example -
y = (float)17 / 5;Having said this, the answer may be slightly different from the expected 3.4 because of how floating point numbers are represented. Please check this - Floating point inaccuracy examples - Stack Overflow[^]«_Superman_» _I love work. It gives me something to do between weekends.
