- Q: what do the following java expressions mean?
Are they valid?
(x +++ y), (x + ++ y), (x ++++ y)
- Solution: The scanner matches at each step the longest
possible token.
- The first is (x ++ + y), add then increment x.
- The second is (x + ++ y), increment y then add.
- The third is (x ++ ++ y), which is invalid.
