Can you have an inner class inside a method and what variables can you access?-

by

?– Yes, we can have an inner class inside a method and final variables can be accessed.

Yes, in Java, you can have an inner class inside a method. This type of inner class is known as a local inner class. Local inner classes are defined within the body of a method, and they have access to the variables declared in the method’s scope (including method parameters and final local variables).

Here’s an example:

java
public class OuterClass {
public void outerMethod() {
final int localVar = 10; // Local variableclass LocalInnerClass {
public void innerMethod() {
System.out.println(“Accessing local variable inside inner class: “ + localVar);
}
}

LocalInnerClass innerObject = new LocalInnerClass();
innerObject.innerMethod();
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
OuterClass outerObject = new OuterClass();
outerObject.outerMethod();
}
}

In this example, LocalInnerClass is a local inner class defined inside the outerMethod. It has access to the local variable localVar declared in outerMethod. Note that the local variable must be effectively final or explicitly declared as final for the inner class to access it.
