Could you tell me the context (which language or exam style)? Here are the common interpretations:
Math/logic (treat nonzero as true): -1 OR (5*5 = 26)
- 5*5 = 26 is false (since 25 ≠ 26), so true OR false → true (the OR is true).
Python: expression as written would be parsed as (-1) or (5*5 == 26)
- 5*5 == 26 is False; -1 is truthy, so the result is -1.
C/C++: expression as (-1) || (5*5 == 26)
- 5*5 == 26 is False; -1 is true (nonzero), so the result is 1 (true).
C/C++ with bitwise OR: (-1) | (5*5 == 26)
- 5*5 == 26 is 0; -1 | 0 is -1 (bitwise OR with -1 yields -1).
Note: 55 equals 26 is false; 55 equals 25.
If you tell me the exact language, I’ll tailor the exact evaluation and provide a short exam-style explanation or a practice question.
