The line z= x+++y; is evaluated as z=x++ + y; where : x++ is post increment of x , so its value changes only after the sum of x+y is evaluated. This is equivalent to: x=2; y=5; z=x+y; x=x+1;

At very first the addition is performed and then X is updated to 3 (X++) before updating X ,Z is assigned 7 .And that's all .🤗

See this article: https://www.sololearn.com/learn/Java/2141/ Z gets the value of x+y (2+5=7), and the x++ increments the value of x, making it 3. Fun fact: doing z=++x+y; would return 8, as it does the calculation before the assignment. Link explains it better.

left to right so it is considers x++ +y since it is post increment at the time it will be 2, then incremented to 3 z=2++ +5 gives 7 so x get incremented to 3; hence result 3 5 7
