How is the output 33 and not 34. Can someone help me understand this?

Question

public class Program
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
int a=2,b=3;
if(a++>b && ++b>0)
System.out.println(1);
else
System.out.println(a+""+b);
}
}

Answer 1

2 > 3 false
2++
rest of if() expresion is ignored, because result is still false // (false && true = false )

Answer 2

The reason is: if(false &&... => the rest is not checking during runtime, because from Java's point of view it makes no sense (the result will be false anyway).

Answer 3

Thank you very much guys for the clarification. Helped a lot.!!
