Precedence question!!!

[Terence Lin]

I wonder why the || operator is excetuted before && operator..:??
class A {
static boolean a;
static boolean b;
static boolean c;
public static void main (String[] args) {
boolean x = (a = true) || (b = true) && (c = true);
System.out.print(a + "," + b + "," + c);
}
}
The result is true, false, false.
P.S This question is from Dan's mock exam, they are really helpful, thanks, Dan.

That question seems to be a popular one here at the ranch.

The question is not why, it is why not. || and && has equal precedence, so it start from left to right.
