Are arithmetic operations on literals calculated at compile time or run time?

Question

I have the following:

double timeInMinutes = (double) timeInMilliseconds / (1000 * 60);

Is the operation (1000 * 60) done at c

Answer 1

Just create class Test

public class Test {
    public static void main(String [] args) {
        long timeInMilliseconds = System.currentTimeMillis();
        double timeInMinutes = (double) timeInMilliseconds / (1000 * 60);
        System.out.println(timeInMinutes);
    }
}

and decompile it using command: javap -v Test

You can see output of decompiled class:

  public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
flags: ACC_PUBLIC, ACC_STATIC
Code:
  stack=4, locals=5, args_size=1
     0: invokestatic  #2                  // Method java/lang/System.currentTimeMillis:()J
     3: lstore_1
     4: lload_1
     5: l2d
     6: ldc2_w        #3                  // double 60000.0d
     9: ddiv
    10: dstore_3
    11: getstatic     #5                  // Field java/lang/System.out:Ljava/io/PrintStream;
    14: dload_3
    15: invokevirtual #6                  // Method java/io/PrintStream.println:(D)V
    18: return
  LineNumberTable:
    line 3: 0
    line 4: 4
    line 5: 11
    line 6: 18

Take a look on the line 6: ldc2_w #3 // double 60000.0d
