exam cram question

[Gene Woo]

Hi, on pg 51, of Exam Cram for Java 2 book, on Question 1,
What will be the result of calling the following method with an input of 2?
public in adder( int N ) {
return 0.100 + N++ ;
}

choices:
a. The method will return 258.
b. The method will return 102.
c. The method will return 259.
d. The method will return 103.

On the book, the anwser for this question is a, which is 258.
I thought the N will be post incremented first because ++ has a higher precedence than +, this will make the answer be c, which is 259. Can someone explain to me?
Thanks.

Hi!
First of all the code is wrong beacause the method is
public in adder( int N ) (I assume that after public is an int)
returning an integer when it's return is giving double.
If we change into double the output will be 2.1

I think you've made an error. In my copy of Exam Cram pg51 question 1 reads:
What will be the result of calling the following method with an input of 2?
1. public int adder(int N){
2. return 0x100 + N++;
3. }
a. The method will return 258.
b. The method will return 102.
c. The method will return 259.
d. The method will return 103.
I don't think you indicated that the value returned was in hexadecimal format.

Thanks Sean for correcting me.

Here is the correct version:
What will the method return?

1. public int adder(int N){
2. return 0x100 + N++;
3. }
a. The method will return 258.
b. The method will return 102.
c. The method will return 259.
d. The method will return 103.

So Hex 100 is 256. which is added to N which is 2. 258 will be returned. Now value of N is 3.
