Hi,

I had found this faq from theserverside.com. Below is that FAQ:



My question is whether it is poosible to create more than one instance for static class. I tried it is working. Whether I had done it correctly?

The staic class is generally used as static nested class like "In" in you code. The methods in static nested class can not access the member of outer class.



Also, I do not think static class just has only one instance. It can have more than one instance.

Hi,

I don't think your code proves anything about the existence of multiple objects of the static inner class, however:



Output: false

proves that the two objects obtained are different, as expected.
