Respeted Sir/Madam,
We have a doubt in the following code:-
class Sample
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int i=10;
i=i++;
System.out.println("The value of i is: " + i);
}
}
When I run the program,it is giving the output as 10.
Why so?If I store the result in another variable,it is taking as 11.What is the difference between both the cases?
Thanking you,
M.Sanjay.

Ask it in Beginner. Or just look for this conversation in other threads. It has been discussed many times.
