another inner class question from K.Mughal.

[Minhaj Mehmood]

public class Outer {
  private int innerCounter;

  class Inner {
    Inner() {innerCounter++;}

    public String toString() {
      return String.valueOf(innerCounter);
    }

  }


  private void multiply() {
    Inner inner = new Inner();

    this.new Inner();

    System.out.print(inner);

    inner = new Outer().new Inner();

    System.out.println(inner);
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    new Outer().multiply();
  }
}

Anyone would like to put some light "why its printing "21" instead of "23" (without quotes off course)".

dude because in

   inner = new Outer().new Inner();   

you are creating a new object of Outer so innercounter will be set to 0 again which will be 1 when a new Inner object is created

i hope this time i am right....right Neha?

Yes.
