    Default little questions

    I'll be posting here all the little questions i'll have just not to open a new thread every time.
    1. Neither Eclipse nor Netbeans don't compile the addition of one in this way.

    public class MainClass {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    int intValue = 10;
    int newValue = intValue ++;
    System.out.println(newValue);

    }

    }
    The result is still 10.

    2. I know that if i declare a primitive without assinging a number to it, it will have automatically assigned 0. in my case it doesn't work.


    public class MainClass {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    double intValue;

    System.out.println(intValue);

    }

    }

    First off, there is no difference between compiling in netbeans or eclipse. You should be using the command line until you understand what's going on under the hood.

    Do a google search of the difference between a postfix and a prefix operator.

    Only variables at the class level (fields) are given default values. Variables inside methods are not.

    class PrePostDemo {
         public static void main(String[] args){
              int i = 3;
          i++;
          System.out.println(i);    // "4"
          ++i;             
          System.out.println(i);    // "5"
          System.out.println(++i);  // "6"
          System.out.println(i++);  // "6"
          System.out.println(i);    // "7"
         }
    }

    Take a look at this code, what does it show you? If it still is confusing then go back to google searching postfix and a prefix like Kevin suggested.

    Prefix and postfix notation is one of those things I can never quite keep straight. I always use those statements completely within their own isolated statement and can't figure out why anyone would do otherwise. It seems like you're just asking for trouble introducing extra confusion for no reason.
