can anybody tell how the counting in loop happens for this program?

[Anto Telvin]

hi all

public class c5 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int x=2;
int y=3;
if((y==x++)|(x<++y))
{
System.out.println(x+""+y);
}
}
}

thanks

nope the question is how the counting of x and y in condition of if is calculating .sorry for the other question

[Matteo Di Furia]

x is incremented by 1 AFTER the first check (y==x), then y is increased by 1
BEFORE the second check (x<y).

The result is 34.

Edit to make it clear, these are the steps :

1) y == x ? false [y=3, x=2]
2) x++; [y=3, x=3]
3) y++; [y=4, x=3]
4) x < y ? true

Agree. You have been around long enough to know about the code button.
