Dan Exam doubt

[Vishy Karl]

Hi All,
I have a doubt, look at the foll. code.

class EBH001 {
  static int m(int i) {
    System.out.print(i + ", ");
    return i;
  }
  public static void main(String s[]) {
    m(m(1) - m(2) + m(3) * m(4));
}}
  

Ans is :-
Prints: 1, 2, 3, 4, 11,
Now my question is where the value returned by the method m being assigned. Should it now throw a compiler error(although i did check by compiling and surprisingly it does not give error) as we are not assigning value returned by function m ?? where it the value returned being asssigned .
thanks in advance,

It will be stored in some temp storage (in stack).
