Expressions!

What do you think gets printed out(Don't compile and run :-))
1)
class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int i=3;
print3(i,++i,++i + ++i);
}
static void print3(int a, int b, int c)
{
System.out.println(a);
System.out.println(b);
System.out.println(c);
}
}
2)
class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int i=3;
print3(i,++i,i+++i++);
}
static void print3(int a, int b, int c)
{
System.out.println(a);
System.out.println(b);
System.out.println(c);
}
}

Hi! Surya,
I didn't compiled code but IMHO
1) 3,4,11
2)3,4,8
will be printed, correct me if I am wrong.

Answer of (1) is 3,4,11 and for (2) is 3,4,9

Answer of (1) is 3,4,11 and for (2) is 3,4,9

Hi All
Let me be frank,i was thoroughly confused with the question myself,i was goint through JLS and it had one such example,i just tweaked it a little bit to include here,the answers as you already have given is 3,4,11 for the first and 3,4,9 for the second..by the way one more funny question(atleast according to me)..what do u think is the answer to this silly and easy question???
class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
long l=3;
long [] a=new long[l];
System.out.println(a.length);
}
}

[Anonymous]

is it 1 ?

[Surya B]

Hi
Why do you think its one,i think you have considered variable 'l(el)' as 1(one)..it is alphabetl(el).What do you think is the answer now???

This should give a compiler error because the array size specifier should be an int.

[Anonymous]

1 is the length of the array. The question tries to confuse with the length of a long primitive.

[Surya B]

Hi vasansrini
Uvnik Gupta answer is correct,from JLS
The type of each dimension expression DimExpr must be an integral type, or a compile-time error occurs. Each expression undergoes unary numeric promotion.The promoted type must be int, or a compile-time error occurs; this means, specifically, that the type of a dimension expression must not be long.
So you can say
class Test
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int l=3; or char l=3 or short l=3 or byte l=3-
--IS OK
int [] a=new int[l];
System.out.println(a.length);
}
}
But you cannot have float,long or double.

I think Uvnik Gupta is right. ( i jumped to a conclusion too quick)

[Anonymous]

what does it print and why ?
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int i=0;
i=i++;
System.out.println(i);
}
}

[mita]

I think it will print 0.As i is post incremented.
Please someone explain me why the answer to the 2nd. code is 9 not 8.
Thanks

Hi Mita,
int i=3;
print3(i,++i,i+++i++);
Java evaluates expressions Left -> Right.
i = 3;
++i = 4;
a = i++ = 4;
i=5;
b = i++ = 5;
i=6;
so a + b = 9;
got it ??

Hi Surya and Uvnik
Thanx for clearing the concept of DimExp.
Surya thanx for the questions and your explanation on that was quiet good.
Plese keep the good work going. Thanks.
