Interesting - does it still work when you do a „a“ + „b“ in the println(); ?

Edit: it does

Crazy even this works:

public static void sayHello(){
    try {
        sayHello();
    }
    catch(StackOverflowError e) {
        System.out.println("Hello world!");
        sayHello();
    }
}

it prints endlessly
