While reading java Doc i got following things .
- An inner class C is a direct inner class of a class O if O is the immediately lexically enclosing class of C and the declaration of C does not occur in a static context
So if I write
public class O{
class Inner1{
//
}
class Inner2{
}
}
My Question is out of these two Inner class which one is the direct Inner Class of O ?
And there are also some points which I got there.
2.A class O is the n'th lexically enclosing class of a class C if it is the immediately enclosing class of the n-1'th lexically enclosing class of C.
3.An instance i of a direct inner class C of a class O is associated with an instance of O, known as the immediately enclosing instance of i. The immediately enclosing instance of an object, if any, is determined when the object is created.
4.An object o is the zeroth lexically enclosing instance of itself.
5.An object o is the n'th lexically enclosing instance of an instance i if it is the immediately enclosing instance of the n-1'th lexically enclosing instance of i.
6.An instance of an inner class I whose declaration occurs in a static context has no lexically enclosing instances. However, if I is immediately declared within a static method or static initializer then I does have an enclosing block, which is the innermost block statement lexically enclosing the declaration of I.
7.For every superclass S of C which is itself a direct inner class of a class SO, there is an instance of SO associated with i, known as the immediately enclosing instance of i with respect to S. The immediately enclosing instance of an object with respect to its class' direct superclass, if any, is determined when the superclass constructor is invoked via an explicit constructor invocation statement.
8.When an inner class (whose declaration does not occur in a static context) refers to an instance variable that is a member of a lexically enclosing class, the variable of the corresponding lexically enclosing instance is used.
Please Explain me these things in simple term as its already seems very confusing while reading these
