java 变量值,Java值加变量++

Consider the following code

int val1 = 3;

val1++;

int val2 = val1++;

System.out.println(val1);

System.out.println(val2);

Val1 value = 5;

Val2 value = 4;

Why is the value of Val1 "5"?

As I understand it it should be 4, because:

at line1 it is assigned value of 3, on line2 1 gets added by way of val1++ which result in val1 being 4.

Val2 is the value of val1 thus 4, plus 1 which is 5

HOwever the compiler gives val1 a value of 5 and val2 a value of 4, what am I not understanding or missing here?

I realize val1++ is used a second time but it is assigned to val2, and should not effect val1s value, or am I wrong?

a++ is known as postfix.

add 1 to a, returns the old value.

++a is known as prefix.

add 1 to a, returns the new value.

so int val2 = val1++; will return the old Value (4)

and still add one to val1
