real time example for inner class and static inner classes.

Hello,

Can you please let me know when we choose inner classes over normal classes.And even when we opt for static inner classes with some real time example.This will help me a lot.

this might help you webpage

Also, I assume that you mean "real life" example, and not "real time" example. As a real time example would probably refer to an example using real-time java.

Thanks of the prompt response.

yes i would mean situation or a requirement where do we go for inner classes.

How about a LinkedList and Node inside a LinkedList. You can have the Node as a private inner class of the LinkedList class.

Henry, could you please give a good book on real - time java?

What do you think real-time actually means?

Sorry if I am confusing you with the word real-time.actually i would like to know where we go for inner classes with out a seperate class,with an example. What are the disadvantages if we choose seperate classes instead of inner classes in that example .

I've to at times felt that..whatever you do with an inner class, you can very well do with a separate final class(so that no one else inherits and uses it) and instantiate it inside your class.
Is there any other situation where we are forced to create an inner class(i think, this is what pardhava krishna meant by real-time), rather than a separate class outside?

look at the sub-headline *Why Use Nested Classes?*
<edit>
the good example is *LinkedList* source code as campbell mentioned.

Real-time means happening at the same time, so a real-time program must respond immediately to any input. Real-time programs are often used for controlling machinery, where for example the power must be turned on and off at exactly the right time.

Yes ,What Ranch Hand is asking was my actual question.
