Hi Cathy. It seems that people who learned
Java before the second edition of the JLS called any nested class an inner class, both static and non-static.
This was my strategy.
1. Be prepared � just in case there is a question on the exam that never got upgraded. Decide in advance how you are going to handle this.
2. If I encountered a question on the exam using "static inner", I would answer correctly according to the JLS second edition � inner classes are never static. After the exam, I would discuss this with Sun and request that my answer to the question be reevaluated.
We all worry so much, you, me, Vad about ambiguous questions. As it turns out, on my exam, all of the questions were very clear and unambiguous. I hope it will be the same for you.
