Order of strings inside a print method.

Question

hey,

Does anyone know whats happening with this as it dosent seem to work the way i thought it would 🤔

System.out.println(("fun "+("is "+("java "))));

thanks

Answer 1

Most operators including string concatenation always process from left to right.

The parentheses do prioritize the operations but it's the appending to front or back make the difference. 😉

"A" + "B" not equals "B" + "A"
"A" + ("B" + "C") equals ("A" + "B") + "C"

Answer 2

i expected to say "java is fun" i thought it might of printed in order of parenthisis 1st,2nd,3rd or is that not possible?

Answer 3

Thanks guys, yep it dosent work ☺ so i made a simple way to solve it if anyone asks the same question.

String [] arr = {" fun!","is","Java "};

int i = arr.length-1;

for(;i>-1;i--){

System.out.print(arr[i]);

I'm not sure what you expected, but you got what I expected. First, "java " is gotten. "is "+"java " is processed next yielding "is java ". "fun "+"is java " is processed last yielding "fun is java "
