sequence confusion

[gaurav gupta sitm]

class C { 
  public static void main(String arg[]) { 
    System.out.println("A"+new C()); 
  } 
  public String toString() { 
    System.out.print("B"); 
    return "C"; 
  } 
}

Output : BAC

why output is BAC instead of ABC ???/

[Javin Paul]

because before this line completes , its created a "C" object and then its toString() method is get called

System.out.println("A"+new C());

which prints "B" and return "C" , which makes output of below line as "AC"

System.out.println("A"+new C())

so essentially you have two System.out.println statement , which print "B" +"AC"

Thanks
