Inner classes

[Rishi Singh]

This is found out in the IBM mock exam can someone help me out to find which all are true ?
1) An interface can contain a nested top-level inner class
2)A member inner class can implement an interface.
3)A static method can contain a local class
4)A static method can contain a nested top-level class
5)An interface can contain a member inner class.
In my opinion 2,3,4,5 are correct, can anyone throw some light?

Regarding the above question,
What exactly do you mean by a top-level inner class? the phrase seems quite contradictory

What he means is that if a inner class is defined as being static is becomes a top-level [inner] class. This only applies to those inner classes defined as static.
Answers to questions : 1, 2, 3, 5
This compiles fine for answer 1:-

interface test {
static class c {};
}

This compiles fine for answer 3:-

public class Test1  {
public static void a() {
class a {};
}
}

This compiles fine for answer 5:-

interface test {
class c {};
}
public class Test1 implements test {
class c {};
}
