Calling an object

[Vijay Chandran]

Dear friends,

There are two different class definitions say classA and classB and i create two objects of each of the classes, say ObjA and ObjB respectively.

Can i call the object of classB from object of classA?

Using code like this: objA.objB

Is this a bad practice of coding? Is it legal?

Kindly provide your help.
Regards,
Vijay

No, you can't. The syntax "objA.objB" works only when objB is a member variable in classA. I don't know what you mean exactly by "calling an object". You don't "call" an object.

class classA {
    public classB objB = new classB();
}
 
class classB {
    public String toString() {
        return "Hello World";
    }
}
 
public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        classA objA = new classA();
 
        System.out.println(objA.objB);
    }
}
