java: error

C: false

Explanation:

In Java the compiler understand that you are trying to compare an integer (15) with a boolean (10 > 5) this generate the next error:

error: bad operand types for binary operator

In C the compiler convert (15 > 10 > 5) in (15>10) > (10>5) which is equal to TRUE > TRUE, the compiler can also read it as 1 > 1 (since 1 is TRUE and 0 is FALSE). like 1>1 is false then C program return false.
