Static

[srinivas sridaragaddi]

 class E2
{
    E2()
    {
      System.out.print("E");
    }
    static class Z
    {
      Z()
      {
         System.out.print("z");
      }
    }
public static void main(String args[])
 {
new E2.Z();
 }
}
   

options:


E
Z
EZ
ZE
runtime exception


output is z

can any one explain as to what is happening in this line: new E2.Z();

You are accessing E2 in a static way and instantiating a static inner class...

... and when accessing static members of a class, its constructor does not need to run.
