Hi Guys......
Check out the code below.
public class MyAr{
public static void main(String argv[]){
long l = 99;
int i = 1;
int j = 0;

j=i<<l;>
System.out.println(j);
}
}
This ocde compiles cleanly and gives an output of 8. What I couldn't understand is how does it compile cleanly without giving an error???
In the statement j=i<<l; 'i' would first be promoted to long and the result of 'i><<l' which would be a long will be assigned to 'j' which is an int. Shouldn't the system give an error message as there is no explicit cast (from long to int) in the statement j=i<<l;>
Thanks in advance...

I get the following errors:


MyAr.java:7: 'void' type not allowed here

j=i< System.out.println(j);

-----------------------^

MyAr.java:7: incompatible types

found : boolean

required: int

j=i< System.out.println(j);

int j = 0;
j = i << l;
System.out.println(j);
}
}
Sorry.... here's the correct version of the code..... I must have 'eaten some parts when I was cut/pasting.....
Any inputs???
Thanks,

The output is prefect right.
99%32 is 3 and i=1, therefore
the result of 1<<3 is 8.
