What will be the output of a++ when a = -1 in java

Question

What will be the output of a++ when a = -1 in java

🧐 Not the exact question you are looking for?Go ask a question

Solution

The output will still be -1.

Here's why:

In Java, the operation a++ is a post-increment operation. This means that the increment happens after the current operation. So, when you print the value of a immediately after a++, it will print the original value of a before the increment.

Here's a step-by-step breakdown:

  1. The variable a is initialized with a value of -1.
  2. The a++ operation is performed. However, because this is a post-increment operation, the value of a is not immediately incremented.
  3. If you print the value of a immediately after the a++ operation, it will print -1, which is the original value of a.
  4. After the current operation (which is the print operation in this case), a is incremented by 1. So, the value of a is now 0.

If you print the value of a again after the a++ operation, it will print 0, which is the incremented value.
