Strange output, need expert help ?

Question

Hi,
I have a simple for loop, but couldn't get the expect output, would you please to tell me the reason ?
int i = 0;
int j = 0;
outer1 : for(i = 0; i < 10; i+=2) {
for(j = 0; j < 10; j+=2) {
if (++i == 5 && j++ == 5) {
break outer1;
System.out.println(i + ">>>" + j);
System.out.println("\n" + i + ":" + j);
The output of the above code as following :
1>>>0
2>>>2
3>>>4
4>>>6
5>>>9
8>>>0
9>>>2
10>>>4
11>>>6
12>>>8

Hi Mr. EricMacau,
After reading your code and execution i was also amazed how this happen.
Then i carefully read your code.
Then i realise
If (++i == 5) will true then
it will go to next statement that is (j++ == 5) other wise program will never read next statement.
So when ++i==5 then it go to next statement that time variable j having 8 value and due to the (j++) it become 9.
You question was quite interesting. I don't know whether my answer will staisfy u or not. let me know ok :):) and chaooo.
