> I have read on some books but it kind of mislead me...One would have to conclude that any further answers here would just tend to mislead you as well, so there'd be no point.

I would strongly recommend going through the tutorial available on the java.sun.com site. It has lots of great examples.

So you are saying that all books have the same style of explanation? I have read a java reference book and some tutorial ebook and i really couldn't grasp it. So i tried in a forum where i might get a simple but effecient answer.

No. I'm saying you "read some books" from other strangers, and are asking some strangers here to regurgitate basically the same information you probably already read. How would the strangers here know what to tell you any differently than you already read about? How would they know what you read, and what's confusing you about it? They wouldn't, so they would probably not waste their time (re)-explaining it.

Yes, but there are books that are meant for newbies.

Not going to help? I think warnerja was helping you understand his comments. Wouldn't you prefer someone to point out why they weren't going to answer your post rather than just ignoring your post?

At the risk you will find the JLS "misleading" out of principle... Let's give it a go - it's actually quite readable and even has an example :-)

[url]http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/expressions.html#15.8.3[/url]

If you can point out concretely which parts you do not understand, we'll take it from there.
