OUTPUT : 1 false 2 true false 5 false 6 false

My Doubt is why the string " 3 " ," 4 " in line 1 are not printing and also totally we have 6 boolean tests but why I am getting only 5 boolean literals.

This will work fine if you change "Line 1" to

System.out.print(" 3 " + (s2 == s3) + " 4 " + (s2 == s4));//Line 1

Dawn.

Ya I replaced . Now I am able to get the Strings " 3" and " 4 " in the output. But still i didn't get the logic in the brackets(). What happens if there is no bracket ???

" 3 " + (s2 == s3) + " 4 " + s2
this part of the statement results to
"sfalse4java"----------- which is a string.
Now you are comparing this... it would be like this
("sfalse4java")==s4

this s operator precedence..
== operator has less priority than +
and the expressions are evaluated from left to right..
so in Line1 is evaluated as false.
the expression is similar to :
(" 3 " + (s1==s3) + " 4 "+ s2) == s4
the result of this expression is false..
