precedence question

[Mindy Hudson]

class Question {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int x = 1;
boolean b1,b2,b3,b4;
b1=b2=b3=b4=true;
x=(b1 | b2 & b3 ^ b4) ? x++ : --x;
System.out.println(x);
}
}

When I run this code I get 1 as answer I thought The expression in braces give false and so --x will get executed and we will get 0.CAn someone explain.

Precedence<pre>
AND & (highest)
XOR ^
OR | (lowest)
</pre>
x=(true | ((true & true) ^ true)) ? x++ : --x;
x=(true | (true ^ true)) ? x++ : --x;
x=(true | false) ? x++ : --x;
x=true ? x++ : --x;

Mindy, here's a link that shows the order of precedence for all the operators with respect to each other.
