Quick, what’s the output of this code snippet?
int x = 32;
// this is a comment \u000a x++;
System.out.println(x);Since you’re reading this, you probably figure it’s a trick question and the answer is not 32. And you’d be correct. The answer is 33.
The \u000a that probably caught your eye is a unicode newline character. So the editor doesn’t break the line, but the JDK does.
Want to give it a try?
int x = 32;
// this is a comment \u000a x++;
System.out.println(x);

Not sure what other kind of fun you could have with this, but it’s good for contest problems.
