Quick question about java....

[Ns1]

I got a question about the increment operator in java

a=1
A++ means that A is now equal to 2, but when does it increment?

ex)

i = 1;
system.out.print(i++);


assuming my syntax is correct

would that print 1, then increase i to 2, or increase i to 2 then print it?

i think i++ would write it first, then increment it, and ++i would increment it, then write it

correct? yes no maybe so????

 

[Rahminator]

a++ -> post-increment
++a -> pre-increment

You are correct.

That is correct, and it's the same in C++. I hate Java though. I'm taking a class in it and I just plain don't like it. TONS of work to do simple stuff.

You MUST be kidding?? How much simpler could it possibly be? Java abstracted a great majority of the complexity that you would otherwise incur in C++ by way of their class library.

Descartes,

Maybe java is just too abstract? 🙂
