Why use nested classes

To instantiate an inner class, you must first instantiate the outer class. Then, create the inner object within the outer object with this syntax: OuterClass outerObject = new OuterClass(); OuterClass. InnerClass innerObject = outerObject .

Creating an inner class is quite simple. You just need to write a class within a class . Unlike a class, an inner class can be private and once you declare an inner class private, it cannot be accessed from an object outside the class. Following is the program to create an inner class and access it.

Use a non-static nested class (or inner class) if you require access to an enclosing instance’s non-public fields and methods . Use a static nested class if you don’t require this access.
