inner static class

[anshi kohli]

class E {
E() {System.out.print("E");}
static class Z {Z(){System.out.print("Z");}}
public static void main(String args[]) {
new E.Z();
}}


why not constructor of class E called in above piece of code ???

[dhwani mathur]

class E {
E() {System.out.print("E");}
static class Z {Z(){System.out.print("Z");}}
public static void main(String args[]) {
new E.Z();
}}

here in thew above shown code,Z is a static class and also an inner class of E ,when we use class name as refernce and a dot operator we call the static members of class that is constructor Z is called..........Later you try with below code you will get constructor of class E to be invoked

   public class E {
E() {System.out.print("E");}
static class Z {Z(){System.out.print("Z");}}
public static void main(String args[]) {
new E();
}}

Since you don't create an instance of class E.

[john harkin]

What if the static class Z is just class Z?
Will its instance be created the same way?
new E.Z();?

[anshi kohli]

no then it will giv an error in thet situation .To access non- static we have to give new E.new Z();
