What is a nested class?

July 17th, 2009 by uCertify Leave a reply »

A class defined within the body of another class is known as a nested class, and the class that encloses it is known as its enclosing class. The scope of a nested class is bounded by the scope of its enclosing class. A nested class has unlimited access to the members of its enclosing class, even if they are declared as private. However, the enclosing class does not have access to the members of the nested class. When a nested class is declared as static, it is called a static nested class. Otherwise, it is called an inner class.
