types of classes in java

Nested Classes
 Writing a class within another is allowed
in Java. The class written within is called
the nested class, and the class that
holds the inner class is called the outer
class.

Nested Classes
The syntax to write a nested class is given
below. Here the class Outer_Demo is the
outer class and the class Nested_Demo is
the nested class.

Types Nested Classes
 Non-static nested classes:
 These are the non-static members of a
class.
 Static nested classes:
 These are the static members of a class.

Inner Classes
 Inner classes are of three types
depending on how and where you define
them. They are:
 Inner Class
 Method-local Inner Classlass
 Anonymous Inner Class

Inner Classes
 Creating an inner class is quite simple. You
just need to write a class within a class

Inner Classes
 Here you can observe that Outer_Demo is
the outer class,Inner_Demo is the inner
class, display_Inner() is the method inside
which we are instantiating the inner class,
and this method is invoked from
the main method

Accessing private Members of
class
 Inner classes are also used to access the
private members of a class.
 To instantiate the inner class, initially you
have to instantiate the outer class.
Thereafter, using the object of the outer
class, you can instantiate the inner class as
shown below.

Static Nested Classes
 A static inner class is a nested class
which is a static member of the outer
class. It can be accessed without
instantiating the outer class, using
other static members. Just like static
members, a static nested class does not
have access to the instance variables
and methods of the outer class. The
syntax of static nested class is as
follows:

Static Nested Classes
 Instantiating a static nested class is a bit
different from instantiating an inner
class. The following program shows how
to use a static nested class.
