    Default simple java calculation

    Hello guys,

    I am currently learning Java. Excuse me for my stupid question. I have come across an example in my book which I don't quite understand. Can anyone explain me please?

    K has the value 10 and j == 5
    It says that the following expression should equal: k==0; j==4;. The expression is:

    k/= 25 * j--

    I think though that k==10 and j==4 because - we do the following:

    k/= 25 * (j=j-1)

    k/= 25 * 4

    k/= 100

    k= k/100

    k= 10

    As a result k==10 and j==4. Can anyone clarify please?

    Thank you

    I assume k and j are ints.

    What is the result of any int divided by a larger int?

    int / int = int

    100:10 = 10 and not 0. This is the way I get it. Could you please clarify what do you exactly mean?

    An int divided by a larger int, as in:

    int k = 10 / 100;

    What will k be?

    ohhh..right..now I got it. How stupid..it will be 0. It will be 10: 100 and not 100:10.

    How about expressions like

    m = j++ + k. Can you tell me what will be the precedence order and the result given that m = 10, j=3 and k=2

    So that you know how to find these things yourself, try searching for 'java precedence' with your favorite search engine. The top 2 results I got from Google are both excellent.
