This question about Inner class
******************************************************************
public class Outer{
public
String name = "Outer";
public static void main(String argv[]){
Inner i = new Inner();
i.showName();
}//End of main
private class Inner{
String name =new String("Inner");
void showName(){
System.out.println(name);
}
}//End of Inner class
}
4) Compile time error because of the line creating the instance of Inner
This looks like a question about inner classes but it is also a reference to the fact that the main method is static and thus you cannot directly access a non static method. The line causing the error could be fixed by changing it to say
Inner i = new Outer().new Inner();
Then the code would compile and run producing the output "Inner"
*****************************************************************
I think that the compiler gives an error message for having private as a modifier.
Secondly, when I move the Inner = new Inner(); after the class declaration the class compiles fine. So the explanation given that static cannot access non static is wrong, becasue the class itself is defined in static method.
I think answer and explanation is wrong.
can someone clarify
