Nested top-level class .....

[Anonymous]

As per Marcus Mock test 3 Qno) 38
Is the following statement true/false.
"a nested top-level class cannot declare any static variables, static methods, or static initializers."
As per my understanding, "a nested top-level class " is a static inner class, i think the statement above is False.
Static inner class can include static vars, methods, static initializers if the class is static.
can anyone verify this!
Thanks.

What happens when you compile the following code:
<PRE>public class Test {
static class S{
static int i;
static void m(){}
static {
i = 1;
}
}
}</PRE>

Now, if you mean this type of class, then the answer is no, you cannot have these <CODE>static</CODE> things inside it.
<PRE>public class Test {
class S{
static int i; //Wrong
static void m(){} //Wrong
static { //Wrong
i = 1;
}
}
}</PRE>
