Inner-Outer class problem

[Abhimanyu Rathore]

Hey guys .. hope you could help again..
i am unable to understand why this prints "Inner" and not "Outer"..

import static java.lang.System.out;

public class Testing{
	public static void main(String[] args){
		new Testing().go();
	}
	public void go(){
		new A().go();
	}
	class A{
		void go(){
			out.println("Inner");
		}
	}
}

class A{
	void go(){
		out.println("Outer");
	}
}

Thanks in advance..

because Inner class A mask the Outer class A. to access the outer class A, you need to call the class with package name/fully qualified name.

package com.thetechtalent.www;

import static java.lang.System.out;  

public class Testing{  
    public static void main(String[] args){  
        new Testing().go();  
    }  
    public void go(){  
        new com.thetechtalent.www.A().go();  
    }  
    class A{  
        void go(){  
            out.println("Inner");  
        }  
    }  
}  
  
class A{  
    void go(){  
        out.println("Outer");  
    }  
}  

This code will invoke "outer go()". You'll have to put your code in a package.
