boolean b1 = false;
boolean b2 = false;
if (b2=b1==false)

which is the operation that is executed first?

As per https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jl ... l#jls-15.2
assignment operator = has lower precedence than ==. Therefore, the given expression is same as:
b2 = (b1==false)

(which is the Left Hand Side of the expression), it returns true, which is again a boolean.

true is right side of the expression.
