Question:

Write a Java code snippet that takes in two integers a and b and determines the result of the following expression:

(a + b) * (a - b) / (a * b)

Example Input

a = 6
b = 3

Expected Output

Result: 2

Answer:

To determine the result of the given expression (a + b) * (a - b) / (a * b), we can use the following Java code:

public class ExpressionResult {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Input integers
        int a = 6;
        int b = 3;

        // Calculate the expression result
        int result = (a + b) * (a - b) / (a * b);

        // Print the result
        System.out.println("Result: " + result);
    }
}

The code above declares two integers a and b with the values 6 and 3 respectively. Then, it calculates the result of the expression (a + b) * (a - b) / (a * b) using the arithmetic operators +, -, *, and /. Finally, it prints the result to the console.

When executed with the provided input, the code will output:

Result: 2

Thus, the result of the given expression for the input a = 6 and b = 3 is 2.
