Inner Class

[Richard Wilson]

What is the output when folllowing code is run?
1. class OuterOne{
2. class InnerOne extends OuterOne{}
3. static void thisMethod(){
4. Object o=(Object)new OuterOne();
5. OuterOne foo=(OuterOne)o;
6. }
7. public static void main(String args[]){
8. thisMethod();
9. }
10. }
1. Will compile fine,but at runtime a ClassCastException is thrown
2. Will compile and run fine
3. Compiler error at line 4
4. Compiler error at line 5
Ans: 2
Why code here compiles fine?
The Inner Class here is a member but why it can declare static method?

Ooops... the method is not within the inner class

[Marilyn de Queiroz]

class OuterOne
{
    class InnerOne extends OuterOne[B]{}[/B]
    
    static void thisMethod()
    {
        Object o=(Object)new OuterOne();
        OuterOne foo=(OuterOne)o;
    }
     
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        thisMethod();
    }
}

The static method is not in the inner class.
