Here the statement if(x=6) is true becauseÂ this is not a conditional operator it assigns 6 to x so it is true, the if condition is true
then y=7;

RE: What is the value of y in the following code?x=7;y=0;if(x=6)y=7;else y=1;a.7b.0c.1d.6

if(x 6) meens in this x will be assigned to 6
and the condition is non zero value.
so if part will excute and y will be assigned to 7. thus the y value is 7.

RE: What is the value of y in the following code?x...

answer is y 7

Now this will assign 6 to x.

If we print the value of x It will display 6.

if the compailer saw if(x 6) it will simply assign 6 to x

but If we mistakenly give if(6 x) it will display an error

So It's better to use if(6 x)

RE: What is the value of y in the following code?x...

x 7 and y 0

now if(x 6)

//assigns 6 to x and what is >0 in if is true so condition is true

so y 7

RE: What is the value of y in the following code?x=7;y=0;if(x=6)y=7;else y=1;a.7b.0c.1d.6

Here the line:

LINE 1: if(x 6)
LINE 2: y 7;
LINE 3: else
LINE 4: y 1;

In the line 1 it is not assigning any values its just a conditional operator which checks the value of x.

If line 1 is true then value can be 7 BUT

In this case the value will be 1 bcoz its is just checking the condition
