Conditional Expression Type Oddity

ConditionalExpressionTest.java

/**
 * Conditional Expression Test. The result is
 * 
 * <pre>
 * 114.0
 * class java.lang.Double
 * </pre>
 * 
 * So why the result is 114.0, the ASCII value of <code>'r'</code>? First, the
 * <code>new Double(0)</code> is convert to primary type <code>double</code>,
 * and if there is a <code>double</code> in the expression, other primary type
 * will be converted to <code>double</code>. After that, since the conditional
 * expression result is a <code>Object</code>, so double is boxed to
 * <code>Double</code>.
