    Default on unary operators

    DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE TWO PROGRAMS PLEASE EXPLAIN ME IN DETAIL HOW IT WORKS



    public class a
    {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
    int i=0;
    int j=i++ +i++ + i + i;
    System.out.println(i);
    System.out.println(j);
    }
    }



    AND


    public class B
    {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
    int i=0;
    int j=i++ + i + i + i++;
    System.out.println(i);
    System.out.println(j);
    }
    }

    Please read this topic to learn how to post code in code or highlight tags and other useful info for newcomers..

    These two lines:

    int j=i++ +i++ + i + i;

    int j=i++ + i + i + i++;

    are different. What about the differences don't you understand or about the results caused by them?

    Write down:

    (first line without unary operator)

    j = i + i + i + i

    substitute 0 for i, calculate j. Shat does j equal?

    write down (or modify the line in the program) to:

    j = i++ + i + i + i

    substitute 0 for i. what does that equal?

    write down (or modify the line in the program) to:

    j = i++ + i++ + i + i

    Keep going until YOU figure it out. You don't need anyone's help with adding together numbers less than 5.

    Another way to see what each expression evaluates to and when it returns its value is to use println statements:
          int i = 1;                        //  set initial value
          System.out.println("i++="+i++);    // show value returned by i++
          System.out.println("i="+i);         //  show value AFTER i++
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
