    Please avoid photos and links. Instead if you have question about code, post the code itself here. Please show your code attempt and tell us how/why it's not working.

    Output b3
    I get "b 3" as output. (with a space). How does your execution remove the space?
    What output do you expect?

    If you want to see what order the statements are executed in try debugging the logic. Add some println statements that print the values of variables as the code is executed.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
