class MethodLocalInnerClass
{
private int a=10;
public void display()
{
final int a=20; //line 1
System.out.println("This is outer class display() ");

class MethodInner
{
private int a;

public void display()
{
System.out.println("The value of the Inner class a is : "+a);
System.out.println("The value of the Ouuter class a is : "+MethodLocalInnerClass.this.a);
System.out.println("The value of the Local variable in the method is : "+a);
}
}
MethodInner mi=new MethodInner();
mi.display();

}
}


class MethodLocalInnerClassMain
{
public static void main(String... args)
{
MethodLocalInnerClass mlic=new MethodLocalInnerClass();
mlic.display();

}

}



In the above code how to access the variable defined at line1 in the display method.

Hi Anil,

You have shadowed the variable "a" inside the MethodInner. I don't see whether there is any way to access the variable defined at line #1.

You code is something like this:

Nay Anil,

You are only able to access:
1- The enclosing class,
2- innerclass instance variables
Because you have "this" reference.

Topclass.this.varname; (for first case)
this.varname (for second case)
3- When you write simply "a" from the instance method, this can first be local variable defined inside the method or the member variable.

4- If you write "a" in static context (from static method or block),
it can first be local variable as always or the class variable (declared static)

There are no way to access variable that is defined inside a method and
you shadow it inside the methodlocal inner class. You think yourself, how can you reach to that. No way!
