Correction

Here is what's right.

The expression tree represents a syntactic decomposition of an expression (a parse tree, or abstract syntax tree, of the expression). How a method computes its return value is not visible in an expression tree showing a call to that method.

For example:

public static int m() {
  return 1 + 2;
}

//...

int result = m() + 4;

In the expression m() + 4, the expression tree contains three nodes: ”+”, “m()” and “4”. Students with the misconception will draw a tree with five nodes: ”+”, ”+”, “1”, “2”, “4”.
