RE: What will be the result and why

i will be 10

because i i++;
if u break it
i i; //1 step
here we are assigned the value and same variable.

if u r taking some other variable like j
j i++

now print System.out.print(i+" "+j)
Ans:

i 11
j 10

RE: What will be the result and why

In C++ and other languages the answer will be 11

Somehow it is 1 10. What should be noted is that i never gets incremented to 11.

int i 10;i i++;System.out.println(i);

should not be logically different from

int i 10;
i i;
i++;
System.out.println(i);

but in java somehow it is logically different.

Post increment never occurs or occurs but is discarded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a fundamental flaw in basic arithmatic in java!!!!!!!!!
