Not any that I'm aware of; the value of the i++ expression is the same, regardless of the number of parentheses you wrap it in. > I tried in C and Java and got the same result (both > return the original value of i), though I would have > expected something different. Nope; the parentheses in such a statement control only operator precedence, not anything else. Don't confuse parentheses used in an expression with those used for function calls or if/while statements - they're syntactically different, even if they share the same code point. > What I also don't understand is why userPrincipal is used directly > instead of this.getUserPrincipal, which would allow some measure of > extensibility of the class. Since the userPrincipal field is protected, not private, the subclass can just use it to store its Principal object, so I don't see a real problem. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
