Strange IF condition

Hi:

class Floozit{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Integer x = 0;
Integer y = 0;
for(Short z= 0;z<5;z++)
if((++x>2)>||(++y)>2)
x++;
System.out.println(x+" "+y);

}
}

The possible output are all 3-4 digits in length though!
At the very least I would think that it prints:
1 1 2 2 4 3 5 4

for(Short z= 0;z<5;z++)
if((++x>2)>||(++y)>2)
x++;

for loop boundary is upto x++, not after that.

so output will be 8 2. why?
first x=0, y=0

1. z=0,
++x(x=1) > 2 false || ++y(y=1) false
x++ not executed here as both are false.

2. z=1
++x(x=2) > 2 false || ++y(y=2) false
x++ not executed here as both are false.

3. z=2
++x(x=3) > 2 true here y++ will not executed as || is short circuit operator
x++ executed so (x=4)

3. z=3
++x(x=5) > 2 true here y++ will not executed as || is short circuit operator
x++ executed so (x=6)

4. z=4
++x(x=7) > 2 true here y++ will not executed as || is short circuit operator
x++ executed so (x=8)

and finally
System.out.println(x+" "+y);// 8 2

I thought the for loop included the System.out.println()!

no no

for(Short z= 0;z<5;z++)
if((++x>2)>||(++y)>2)
x++;

for loop is not using {} braces, so it is just including if() conditional statement, and this if() statement is including x++ statement as if(){} is also not using {} so it can contain only one statement after it.

In the (++x>2)> expression, is the last greater-than symbol correct? Cause, if it is in your code, it won't compile, if it is not in your code, the output is as said by Punit.

Ya it is just typing mistake.
