output of this program?

[Anto Telvin]

hi ranchers
i have the following code :

public class AQuestion
{
private int i = giveMeJ();
private int j = 10;

private int giveMeJ()
{
return j;
}
public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println((new AQuestion()).i);
}
}
why i am getting 0 as output.what is happened here?

thanks in advance

Because the initializations of the fields are done in the order in which they appear in the source code. So "i" is initialized before "j", and at the time of the initialization, "j" still has its default value (which is 0).
