Review of Python Basics — Question 54

6 * 3 + 4 ** 2 // 5 - 8
= 6 * 3 + 16 // 5 - 8
= 6 * 3 + 3 - 8
= 18 + 3 - 8
= 21 - 8
= 13

The above expression follows operator precedence rules in Python. First, exponentiation is evaluated, then floor division is performed, followed by multiplication, and finally, addition and subtraction. The result of the expression is 13.
