public class MyOuter
{
public static class MyInner
{
public static void foo() { }
}
}
which statement, if placed in a class other than MyOuter or MyInner, instantiates an instance of the nested class?Answer: Option
Explanation:
MyInner is a static nested class, so it must be instantiated using the fully-scoped name of MyOuter.MyInner.
Option B is incorrect because it doesn't use the enclosing name in the new.
Option C is incorrect because it uses incorrect syntax. When you instantiate a nested class by invoking new on an instance of the enclosing class, you do not use the enclosing name. The difference between Option A and C is that Option C is calling new on an instance of the enclosing class rather than just new by itself.
Option D is incorrect because it doesn't use the enclosing class name in the variable declaration.

No, The inner class is static. Static classes cannot be instantiated. That's the definition of something being 'static'.

Option B is the correct answer. Since static nested class , we can directly create instance for inner class object.
It will be,
MyOuter.MyInner mi=new MyInner();
Above must do.
It will be,
MyOuter.MyInner mi=new MyInner();
Above must do.

So which one is exact answer guys. I'm confused by looking into your responses.

Is option A correct. It doesn't have () for myouter.
I think like the correct answer will be:
MyOuter.MyInner m = new MyOuter().MyInner();
I think like the correct answer will be:
MyOuter.MyInner m = new MyOuter().MyInner();

Option B is correct, since inner class is static.
Object of inner class is not bounded with object of outer class.
Object of inner class is not bounded with object of outer class.
