Answer:

No. The + is not allowed as part of an integer. This is weird, and may change with a future release of Java.

Another Example

Here is another example. It asks the user for two integers which are then added together and the sum written out.

import java.util.Scanner;

class AddTwo
{
  public static void main (String[] args) 
  { 
    Scanner scan = new Scanner( System.in );
    int first, second, sum ;      // declaration of int variables

    System.out.println("Enter first  integer:");
    first = scan.nextInt();       // read chars and convert to int

    System.out.println("Enter second integer:");
    second = scan.nextInt();      // read chars and convert to int

    sum = first + second;         // add the two ints, put result in sum

    System.out.println("The sum of " + first + " plus " + second +" is " + sum );
  }
}

Here is a sample run:

Enter first  integer:
12
Enter second integer:
-8
The sum of 12 plus -8 is 4

QUESTION 16:

(A slightly hard question: ) explain what happened in the following run of the same program:

Enter first  integer:
12 -8
Enter second integer:
The sum of 12 plus -8 is 4
