This is a question from Dan's Question Banks. class A { static boolean a; // initialized false static boolean b; // initialized false static boolean c; // initialized false public static void main (String[] args) { boolean x = (a = true) || (b = true) && (c = true); System.out.print(a + "," + b + "," + c); } } The output is true, false, false. Doesn't the && has a higher precedence than the ||? My wrong thinking is that it should be true, true, true. How does the precedence work?
