array increment

Hi,

public class Test3{
public static void main(String args[]){
int arr[] = new int[10];
int i = 5;
arr[i++] = ++i+i++;
System.out.print(arr[5]+":"+arr[6]);
}
}

when i try to do this program I am getting the output as 11:13 but the compiler shows as 14:0.

can any please expalin me the program.

Thanks in advance.

The array reference on the left hand side of the assignment is evaluated first, to arr[5]. After this evaluation, i is incremented to 6.

Then the right hand is evaluated. First i is incremented to 7. This value is remembered, and then the "i++" is evaluated, giving 7. This second 7 is remembered, and then then i is incremented again, and i becomes 8. This value 8 is never used for anything, as i is never referenced again. The two remembered sevens are then added to give 14, which is assigned to the location arr[5]. That's it!

Where are you getting te output 11:13?
There is only one array variable being set and that happens to be index 5.
the line
arr[i++] = ++i+i++;
comes out to be (let's see if I can get this right)
arr[5] = 7 + 7;
IF I'm right it happens a such:
first the array access happens at 5 and then increments i to 6
the pre increment ups i to 7 giving you 7 + 7
then the post increment ups i to 8, but that doesn't get used.
I'm pretty sure that if you added a println(i) at the end you would see 8.

Hi,

Thank you I got it,but still I have doubt

if i write the same program as

arr[i++] = i++ + ++i;----------------- 1

instead of arr[i++] = ++i + i++;---------------- 2

the out put is same ,but

when i try to solve the 1 equation like

see i=5
so arr[i++]= arr[5] (post increment then i=6)
so now i++ = 6 (ost increemnt then i=7)
then ++i= 7.

so arr[5] = 6 + 7=13 (is this correct?)

but i know that both 1 and 2 are one and the same .

still not getting satified as i feel the outputs for both of them is different.

it's not 6 + 7, it's still 7 + 7 because the ++i happens before the +

It's 6 + 8.
i++ returns 6, increments to 7
++i increments to 8, returns 8

I'm seeing it as:
arr[i++] = ++i + i++; //7 + 7
//i = 8 now

It's 6 + 8.
i++ returns 6, increments to 7
++i increments to 8, returns 8

If you look back at the code, i was already incremented to 7 in the subscript. So it's exactly like PJ and others say: 7+7 with i==8 in the end.
