Anonymous inner class

[Faisal Ahmad]

Could you please tell me what's wrong with the following code? Im showing the source of 2 errors

class AnonymousTest{
public static void main(String[] args){
Popcorn p = new Popcorn();
p.pop(new Cookable(){
public void cook(){
//System.out.println("p.pop.cook");
}
});
Cookable c = new Cookable(){
public void cook(){
System.out.println("Cookable.c.cook");
}
};
c.cook();
//Create an anonymous inner subclass of Popcorn
Popcorn p = new Popcorn(){//error 1
void pop(new Cookable(){//Create an anonymous implementer of Cookable interface
public void cook(){}//error 2
});
};
p.pop();
}
}
class Popcorn{
void pop(Cookable c){
System.out.println("Popcorn.pop");
}
}
interface Cookable{
void cook();
}

For one, it looks like you're trying to create two instances of variable named "p" as Popcorn types, your second one isn't an anonymous class from my discernment. It is clearly type Popcorn, and I'm not quite sure what the code block there is for me, as you are not creating an anonymous class just creating a new Popcorn() object...

I dont think my code is wrong where you've pointed it. Well, to make things more clear look into this code now:

class AnonymousTest{
public static void main(String[] args){
//An anonymous inner subclass of Popcorn
Popcorn q = new Popcorn(){
void pop(){
System.out.println("anon.pop");
}
void pop(new Cookable(){//error 1
public void cook(){
}
});//error 2
};
q.pop();
}
}
class Popcorn{
void pop(){
System.out.println("Popcorn.pop()");
}
void pop(Cookable c){
System.out.println("Popcorn.pop(Cookable)");
}
}
interface Cookable{
void cook();
}

Just removed ambiguity..still the same errors!

I got it!
Well, while overriding a method, we've to maintain the signature and not pass the arguments. Arguments should be passed during the method call.
Herez the updated code:

//An anonymous inner subclass of Popcorn
Popcorn q = new Popcorn(){
void pop(){
System.out.println("anon.pop");
}
void pop(Cookable c){
System.out.println("anon.pop(Cookable)");
}
};//closing the anonymous subclass definition
q.pop();
q.pop(new Cookable(){//creating a just in time implementor of Cookable
public void cook(){}//overriding the method of interface - a must!
});

Sorry for the stupidity!
