Due to recent confusion regarding postfix operators, an explicit operator cast will be required in Java 7 to force traditional postfix behavior. In the absence of such a cast, the postfix operator will default to prefix operator behavior.

1.3 Numeric fuzz
The numeric fuzz setting identifies the number of digits of accuracy that are IGNORED during numeric comparisons. The fuzziness is set to the value of the fuzzExpression. When the fuzzExpression is absent, the fuzziness is set to the default setting -- 0 digits. The value of the fuzzExpression must be 0, or a positive whole number which is less than the current numeric digits setting.
The fuzz built-in function returns the current setting of the numeric fuzz value.
Note: the fuzz setting is rarely altered. It is useful for performing fuzzy logic computations. Normal computations should use a fuzz setting of 0.
A good question is never answered. It is not a bolt to be tightened into place but a seed to be planted and to bear more seed toward the hope of greening the landscape of the idea. John Ciardi
