Evaluate the following expressions and write their result.
(a) 23 * 20 / 5 + 16 * 4 – 8 _______________
(b) (5 ** 3) – (50 * 2) + 40 % 8 _______________
(c) (10 + 20 > 15) and (3 * 8 <= 20) _______________

Knowledge Discovery Subject Enrichment
The order of precedence of arithmetic operators follows the mathematical rule of BEDMAS. BEDMAS
stands for Brackets, Exponentiation, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction.

Keywords are the reserved words of a programming language which have their specific meaning and are
used to frame the statements of a program. Python has a set of keywords which perform specific tasks
during the program execution. A few keywords in Python are: and, def, for, is, del, from, try, class, except,
import, pass, elif, not, while, false, true, none, or, continue, in, raise, print, break, else, and if.
