What is the default behavior of division operator (/) when applied to integers in Java?

  1. Round up the result

  2. Round down the result

  3. Truncate the result

  4. Convert to float and perform division

The correct answer is: Truncate the result

When dividing integers in Java, the default behavior of the division operator (/) is to truncate the result. This means that any digits after the decimal point will be removed, and the result will be a whole number. Option A is incorrect because the division operator does not round up the result. Option B is incorrect because it does not round down the result either. Option D is incorrect because it does not convert the integers to float but instead converts them to double, which can cause inaccuracies in the result.
