Thread: simple java calculation

Hello guys,

I am currently learning Java. Excuse me for my stupid question. I have come across an example in my book which I don't quite understand. Can anyone explain me please?

K has the value 10 and j == 5
It says that the following expression should equal: k==0; j==4;. The expression is:

k/= 25 * j--

I think though that k==10 and j==4 because - we do the following:

k/= 25 * (j=j-1)

k/= 25 * 4

k/= 100

k= k/100

k= 10

As a result k==10 and j==4. Can anyone clarify please?

Thank you

I assume k and j are ints.

What is the result of any int divided by a larger int?

int / int = int

100:10 = 10 and not 0. This is the way I get it. Could you please clarify what do you exactly mean?

An int divided by a larger int, as in:

int k = 10 / 100;

What will k be?

ohhh..right..now I got it. How stupid..it will be 0. It will be 10: 100 and not 100:10.

How about expressions like

m = j++ + k. Can you tell me what will be the precedence order and the result given that m = 10, j=3 and k=2

So that you know how to find these things yourself, try searching for 'java precedence' with your favorite search engine. The top 2 results I got from Google are both excellent.
