Pl clear the very basic funda!

[SaiRam NageshKumar]

int i = 0;
i = i++;
System.out.println(i);
The above code in a main statement of a class give output as 0 not 1 why?

in i = i++, the assignment operator is done first (l to r), so i is asssigned to i and the '++' is effectively ignored, as it is a post operation increment. Compare this to just i++ on line (2), which gives your expected 1 result

a simple breakdown will surely help u:
y=x++
-------
can be broken down to :
y=x
x=x+1
==============
y=++x
-----
can be broken down to :
x=x+1
y=x(nothing but x+1)
this is the best explanation I found after many years of confusion

A good mnemonic for this:
j=i /* . . . . . . . */ ++ ;
(compiles and run)
Try this 4 sec training. For a permanent result.
Rythm it up (high or internal voice) 2 times as this:
i=i // say fast
... // wait..
++ // spit it now!
Now whenever you meet j=i++ in Mocks, the Test Center, or the real world, speak it:
j=i
...
++
