java.lang.NullPointException

hi, all,I have a question, can anybody give an answer? Thanks in advance.Why the following code throws NullPointerException?String v =null;System.out.println("aaaaa"+v==null?"":Integer.toString(v.length()));while the following code not?String v =null;System.out.println("aaaaa"+(v==null?"":Integer.toString(v.length())));

Because of operator precedence. There is a decent page that lists Java operator precedence here. Since the "+" operator has higher precedence, the first one is trying to concatenate "aaaaa" and v, while the second one makes sure (through the parentheses) that it processes your "v==null?:" set first.

Parentheses are useful whenever you need to force precedence. Think about it this way...

1 + 2 * 3 = 7

...because * has a higher precedence than +, it gets processed first. Whereas if I add parentheses:

(1 + 2) * 3 = 9

...now I force the program to interpret the + operator before it does the *.

I hope that helps.

in situations like this I always use parentheses, this makes thing simplier

The NullPointerException it's look like to be generated because the attribute body of the org.objectweb.proactive.core.body.rmi.RemoteBodyImpl class is defined as transient, so when obj1 is gave as a parameter in obj2.goTo(obj1), the body (in the RemoteBodyImpl reference in obj1) became null (obj1 is in different JVM than obj2); and the function ProActive.migrateTo(anActiveObject) in some moment call the method body.getNodeURL() (in the class RemoteBodyImpl) that generates the NullPointerException.

Null can not to operator length()System.Out.Println("aaaaa"+(v==null?"":Integer.ToString(v.Length())));While v!=null v.Lenth() is wrong-reply by jack
