There can be a class inside other class called nested class but you cant have a method inside another method.

A suggestion, the best way to figure out issues like this is to write a simple code and compile it then you can learn lot .

Hi,

I think your friend was talking about anonymous classes which can be declared and executed inside a method (no matter if it is done in main() method). Code snippet is given below:

  
public class MainTest {
public static void main(String args[]) {
test t = new test() {
public void print() {
System.out.println("Inside print");
}
};
t.print();
}
 
interface test {
void print();
}
}

Hope this clears the doubt.
