15.6.5

Evaluation Order for Other Expressions

EXPRESSIONS

If evaluation of an argument expression completes abruptly, no part of any

argument expression to its right appears to have been evaluated.

Thus, the example:

class Test {

static int id;

public static void main(String[] args) {

try {

test(id = 1, oops(), id = 3);

} catch (Exception e) {

System.out.println(e + ", id=" + id);

}

}

static int oops() throws Exception {

throw new Exception("oops");

}

static int test(int a, int b, int c) {

return a + b + c;

}

}

prints:

java.lang.Exception: oops, id=1

because the assignment of

3

 to

id

 is not executed.

15.6.5   Evaluation Order for Other Expressions

The order of evaluation for some expressions is not completely covered by these

general rules, because these expressions may raise exceptional conditions at times

that must be specified. See, specifically, the detailed explanations of evaluation

order for the following kinds of expressions:

class instance creation expressions ( 15.8.1)

array creation expressions ( 15.9.1)

method invocation expressions ( 15.11.4)

array access expressions ( 15.12.1)

assignments involving array components ( 15.25)
