operator precedence

[Robert]

Hi,
According to the operator precedence table, the dot operator has a higher
precedence than the 'new' operator:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutor...pressions.html

Therefore when I write
new myClass.method()
it should, according to this table, be parsed as
new (myClass.method())
which is nonsensical and doesn't compile.
It seems to be parsed as this instead:
(new myClass).method()
Is there an explanation?

****
sample code:
****
public class C {
****public*int*i*=*0;
****
****public*C(int*i)*{
********this.i*=*i;
****}

****public*int*getI()*{
********return*i;
****}

****public*static*void*main(String*args[]){
********System.out.println(new*C(20).getI());
********//*is*parsed*as:*
********//System.out.println(*(new*C(20)).getI()*);*==>*ok
********//*but*according*to*precedence*table*should*be*parse d*as:*
********//System.out.println(*new*(C(20).getI())*);*==>*wron g*
****}
}

The question was answered by John Bollinger in c.l.j.programmer.
The answer is that the precedence table is wrong in this case.

Seems to me that the table is not wrong. It is not possible
to use 'new' to create a new method, just a class. So when
you say you want a new method, you get the whole class too.
