Hi Anjella,
The answers are (2),(4),(5) ?? (see the explanation)

Which of the below regarding inner classes is true ?
( any three )
1. A non-static inner class may have static members. // false, a non-static inner CANNOT have static members
2. Anonymous inner classes cannot have any extends or implements clause. // true, they simply impliment the interface without any
// keyword extends or impliments as they dont have a name.
3. Anonymous inner classes can only be created for interfaces // false , they can be created for other classes as well.
4. Anonymous classes can never have initialized parameters. // true as they dont have name, so no constructor , and no parametes as well
5. Anonymous inner classes cannot be static // NOT CLEAR
// if question is that an anonymous cannot be declared as static then the answer is true BUT we can definitely
have a static anonymous class within a static method so in other case answer is false.

Hope this clears your doubt.
Ravindra Mohan.

Correct answers are 1, 2 and 5 as given in the s/w.
. You can have static field in a non-static inner class. But you have to make it constant. Obviously, a final static field is static.
ex:
class A
{
class B
{
final static int i = 10; //this is valid.
}
}

. Anonymous class can never be static. Even if defined in a static context. The very syntax conveys the answer. You always do: new ActionListener(){ ... }
HTH,
Paul.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the explanation on choice(1) . I missed on that. Could you please explain why the choice(4) cant be
true. May be I have not understood the question??

You can pass parameters to an anonymous class but the parameters must match any of the constructors of the super class.
ex. you can have somthing like:
new SomeClass( 10, 20 ) { }
here, SomeClass must have a constructor that takes 2 ints.

Hi Paul,
Are you trying to tell that choice (4) can also be true.
Please clear my doubt.
