anonymous?

[srikanth reddy]

An anonymous inner class can have a static initializer . Is this statement true or false ?

Options :

a . true
b . false

initializers has nothing to do with the name ...so why cant it have???

[Joan Pujol]

The compiler says that this is not possible

What sense does it make to have a static initializer in an anonymous inner class?

so why cant it have?

anonymous inner class is an instance of an class. Static code cannot access instance members.

Hi,
Anonymous class is a local member of a method or constructor. It is not a class level member. Just as a local method variable cannot be static a anonymous class reference cannot be declared static.

Hi,

Static initializer-No ..

reasons have been given in the posts....


instance initializers-Yes...

The non-static initializer is the only way to do initialization in an anonymous inner class, as those can't have constructors.

Just Remember one very important point that static construct i.e. static variable,initializer,method etc are top level construct so they can appear at toplevel class scope or nested within a static construct.
Hope it helps
