confusion in inner classes

[Arnab karmakar]

Hi all ,

When I was studying the Java Tips given by Heather MacKenzie, I got one statement that "You can also define an anonymous class - a class without a name.See p.399 Exam guide for sytax".

When i tried to implement some code following the above statement ... the compiler showed and error ..... identifier expected

My codes are ----
class test27 {
int i;
//inner class
class {
int ii=0;
void m() {
System.out.println(i);
}
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
test27 o = new test27();
}
}

Please tell me whether i am wrong in understanding the statement.
Thankz in advance.

Arnab

What did page 399 of the Exam guide say?

Could be you do better reading Corey's Tip on Anonymous Inner Classes

What's meant is something like

Thread t = new Thread(new Runnable(){public void run(){System.out.println("Hello World!");}});
t.start();

Apologies if I got some brackets wrong
