please give the execution flow for the code

class Test
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
int a=9;
a=a+++a;
System.out.println(a);
}

}

I'm getting ans as

19

[fred rosenberger]

i'm not positive, but i think it's this...

a+++a resolved to

a + (++a)

so, you get 9 + 10

[Sasha Ruehmkorf]

Nope, it's
a++ + a = 9 + 10 = 19. See the following:

int a = 10;
int b = 10;
System.out.println(a+++b);
System.out.println(a + " " +b); // Prints "11 10"

The compiler parses the given expression from left to right
