Hi Buddies!
Inner classes can have any level of nesting. What would be the right way to create an instance of inner-most class if we have three levels of nested class like;
class outer
{
class inner
{
class inner1
{}
}
void temp()
{

outer.inner i = new outer.inner();
//Compiler Error outer.inner.inner1 j = new outer.inner.inner();
//Compiler Error inner1 k = new inner1();
}
}
Thanks!

simply
Outer.Inner.Inner1 inner1= new Outer().new Inner1().new Inner2();
or
Outer o=new Outer();
Outer.Inner i=o.new Inner();
Outer.Inner.Inner1 i1=i.new Inner1();

Hi tanveer,
Non static inner classes need an instance of outer class.
and since u r creating the instance of inner inside the outer class itself,u dont need to write outer.inner i,this wud also work
inner i=new inner();which is like
inner i=this.new inner() coz non ststic method wud place 'this' implicitly.
to create the instance of inner class u need it to define
inner.inner1 j=new inner().new inner1();
which is equavalent to
inner.inner1 j=this.new inner().new inner1();
hope this will clear your doubt.

sorry tanveer
I thought u are making an instance outside the outer class.But i think you got the funda.It will still work but got some extra overhead.

Thanks Sundeep and Puneet, I'd my fundamentals wrong. Have cleared the concept....
