Why is x == (x = y) not the same as (x = y) == x?

Question

Consider the following example:

class Quirky {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int x = 1;
        int y = 3;

        System.out.println(x =         


        

Answer 1

Basically the first statement x had it's value 1 So Java compares 1 == to new x variable which won't be the same

In the second one you said x=y which means the value of x changed and so when you call it again it'll be the same value hence why it's true and x ==x
