Try to figure out the output of this code:
public class Test{ public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(45+5 + "=" +45+5); }} |
Output:
50=455
The reason behind this is – Initially the integers are added and we get the L.H.S. as 50. But, as soon as a string is encountered it is appended and we get “50=” . Now the integers after ‘=’ are also considered as a string and so are appended.
- To make the output 50=50, we need to add a bracket around the sum statement to overload the concatenation operation.
- This will enforce the sum
to happen before string concatenation as bracket as the highest precedence.
public class Test{ public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.println(45+5 + "=" +(45+5)); }} |
Output:
50=50
