can inner class be "public"? if outer class is "public" already.

[Jenny Hua]

in Marcus Green mock test#1 http://www.jchq.net/mockexams/exam1.htm#Question%2030)
Question #30
public class MyClass1 {
public static void main(String argv[]){ }
/*Modifier at XX */ class MyInner {}
}
What modifiers would be legal at XX in the above code?
1) public
2) private
3) static
4) friend
ANSWER is 1, 2, 3. I am confused, in this case, outer class is public already, can inner class be public also?
Please help me out. thanks!

The answer is yes. The easiest way to discover the answer to something like this is to try compiling it.

The inner class can be public,protected,private,static and also final in this case.
