Type conversion of int and string, java

Question

last exam we had the exercise to determine the output of the following code:

System.out.println(2 + 3 + \">=\" + 1 + 1);

My answer was <

Answer 1

Assuming that your syntax is :

System.out.println(2 + 3 + ">=" + 1 + 1);

expressions are evaluated from left to right, in this case 2 + 3 get summed to 5 and when "added" to a string result in "5 >=", which when added to 1 gives "5 >= 1", add another 1 and your result is: "5 >= 11"
