How to access inner class members of class Ten which is implemented inside construcor of class Two?

[Sanjay Kumar Sah]

public class One {
final Integer y = 10;

class Two //Class Two starts here
{
final int x;
public Two() //Constructor starts here
{
x = 10;

class Ten // Class Ten starts here
{
int x = 11;
} // Class Ten ends here

}// Constructor ends here
} //Class Two ends here

Hi Sanjay, I moved your topic to the Java In General forum because I think it is more appropriate here, rather than in IDEs...

You can do so inside the Two constructor by creating a new instance of Ten, then accessing the value you want. Example:

public class One
{
    final Integer y = 10;

    class Two // Class Two starts here
    {
        final int x;

        public Two() // Constructor starts here
        {
            this.x = 10;

            class Ten // Class Ten starts here
            {
                int x = 11;
            } // Class Ten ends here

            Ten ten = new Ten();  //New instance of Ten
            System.out.println("Ten's x is: " + ten.x); //Access ten's properties
        }// Constructor ends here
        
        /* Warning - Compile Time Error! Ten is not visible outside the Two constructor! */
        public void display(Ten ten)
        {
            
        }
    } // Class Two
}

Note that you can only do so inside the Two constructor. Since the class was defined inside the constructor then it only has scope inside that method. So as shown in the above code sample you can't use or refer to Ten even inside another method of the same class.

Surely that local class will go out of scope when the constructor completes?

Thanks...,It really works.
