because you are tormenting the compiler with deliberately ambiguous
code. It would require the JLS and a language lawyer to figure out
what is supposed to happen. Don't do that. There is never any need for
goofy code like that.

write simply
i++;

SOP is presumably a method not a class, so it should be called sop.

Secret code for System.out.println :-).
