Welcome to anonymous classes.

When you have problems like this, it's usually good to work from the inside out. In your particular case, the "inside" is:and what that does its to create an instance of an 'anonymous' (ie, unnamed) class that implements TestA. In order to do that, it has to implement its toString() method, which in this case returns "test".

Moving out, you have System.out.println(), and if you look at its documentation, you'll see that it calls String.valueOf(), which in turn calls the object's toString() method.

And voilĂ : your program prints out "test".
