Anonymous class as parameter

[Thiru Thangavelu]

I know, you can not create a constructor since it doesn't have a name. But here, how is it possible to passible to pass anonymous class as a parameter?
public class Morecombe{
public static void main(String argv[]){
Morecombe m = new Morecombe();
m.go(new Turing(){});
}
public void go(Turing t){
t.start();
}
}
class Turing extends Thread{
public void run(){
for(int i =0; i < 2; i++){
System.out.println(i);
}
}
}

Hi Thiru,
It is the same as doing the following assignment in java:
Turing t = new Turing(){};
That is essentially what the compiler does with the code you have shown.

Turing t = new Turing(){};
What do the curly brackets mean? The Turing class is already defined, so does this definition get overriden or something?

[Francisco A Guimaraes]

when you use the curly bracers"{}", you create an anonymous class that extends Turing.
