The result of this if statement was asked in my final exam. Afterwards, I searched for this sort of If statement but couldn't find it. Here's an example of this if statement. I experimented with it and apparently it works in mysterious ways :D 

int a=1, b=1;
if(a != b >> 1)
{
    System.out.println("ABC");
}

    It's comparing `a` and `(b >> 1)` (bitshift right once), which is the same as `b / 2`. And since `b` is an `int` (and `1`), that is `0`. So, `if 1 != 0`... thus it will print `ABC`. – Elliott Frisch Jun 23 '17 at 01:16
