title: output of expression in (--i + ++i) in java
body: <pre><code>int i=9;
  System.out.println(--i + ++i);
  </code></pre>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>output on execution : 17<br>
    The final value of i is : 9</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>But according to associativity and precedence rules in java,, ++i should be executed first i.e from Right to left which gives 10 and then --i gives 9 .. adding both,, the answer should be 19... As far as i have known such a code gives undefined behaviour in C/C++ but in java ,, the rules are strictly defined and there is no concept of sequence points. So, can anyone clarify the problem as iam really confused about this ?? Also in some books it was mentioned that post increment and post decrement operators are LTR associative. But in some other books it's given all increment and decrement(both post and pre) are RTL associative..!! Can anyone give a correct operator precedence and associativity table for java ?</p>
