Pls explain.... I have exam tomorrow....😭

Question

In java, the output of :
System.out. println ("Result = " + 4+2); is : Result = 42....but the output of System.out.println('c' + 4+2) is 105 (taking the ASCII value)...
I don't understand the working of '+' as a concatenation operator in both cases....

Answer 1

" " (double quotes) is a string.
' ' (single quotes) is a character (ascii value).
If we add something to a string, it gets concatenated.
If we add something to a char, it adds the number to an ascii value.

Answer 2

string + int is string concatenation. The int will be converted to string.

char + int is ASCII value addition. The result is an int.

After string value if you try add number then it will just concatenate with string. To avoid this you can use parenthesis like:

System.out.println("Result = " + (4 + 2));
