Question

I have the following class:

   public class Go {
     public static void main(String args[]) {
      System.out.println("G" + "o");
      System.out.println('G' + 'o');
     }
   }

And this is compile result;

  Go
  182

Why my output contain a number?

Answer 1

In the second case it adds the unicode codes of the two characters (G – 71 and o – 111) and prints the sum. This is because char is considered as a numeric type, so the + operator is the usual summation in this case.
