Can't figure out why this prints out 63

Question

came across this code and tried to solve it ... but do not quite understand why it prints out 63?

public static void main(String[]args)
{
    int x = 0;
    int y = 0;
    for(int z= 0; z < 5; z++)
    {
        if ((++x > 2)&&(++y > 2))
        {
            x++;  
        }
    }
    System.out.println(x+""+y);
}

Answer 1

First of all, ++x means x is being added 1, and afterwards read for the check in the if statement. So x is 1 the first time you check it.

But there is another thing in Java, if you check two statements, like you do in the following:

if ((++x > 2)&&(++y > 2))

If the first check fails, the second doesn not get executed.

I written the output in console, having ----- for all for loop cycles:

x: 0
y: 0
z: 0
if: (false && (not executed) )
x: 1
-----
x: 1
y: 0
z: 1
if: (false && (not executed) )
x: 2
-----
x: 2
y: 0
z: 2
if: (true && false)
x: 3
y: 1
-----
x: 3
y: 1
z: 3
if: (true && false)
x: 4
y: 2
-----
x: 4
y: 2
z: 4
if: (true && true)
x: 5
y: 3
x: 6
