Nested classes are a logical and reasonable way of grouping classes that are utilized in one place. The static is one of the nested classes. We have static and non-static classes. Static nested classes that are associated with the programming language of java. The static nested classes are divided into two.

We have the namely inner classes and the static nested classes. The static class group the classes in a logical format; it also helps to improve encapsulation in java programming. Static class always interacts with the case members of its outer class.

Static nested classes tend to get an additional class in the same package; this extra class is allowed to interact the same way other classes interact.

A static nested class does not have any access to the non-static members of the enclosing class in order to instantiate it. A static nested class is not tied to an instance of the enclosing class. Therefore it cannot access the non-static members of the class just like a static method just as a static method cannot access non-static members of a class; it is wrong to say that one must have a reference to an instance of the enclosing class in order to instantiate it because the static nested class doesn't need a reference to an instance of the enclosing class.

So also, it is wrong to say that variables and methods must be static because static nested classes can define non-static members. Lastly, it is wrong to stay. It must extend the enclosing class because there are no binding rules which state that nested class can extend anything.

Nested classes are divided into two different categories, namely inner classes and static nested classes.
A static nested class may be a static inner class. It can easily be accessed without the need to check the outer class, using the other static members.

There are times when they are called "class members," which means that they are class members. Please note that this is going to be different from the behaviors or the attitudes of different individual objects. When there are static nested classes, this means that there would be added classes in the available packages. Take note that this would only interact with one available class.

There are many true statements that can be written about static nest classes. The first is that these classes are associated with the programming language of Java. These classes define classes in other classes. Static nest classes are one of the two types of nest classes.

The first type is non-static nested classes. This type can also be called inner classes. There are many reasons why one may use a static nest class is to group the classes in a logical format. The second reason why a person uses a static nest class in Java programming is to improve the encapsulation.

Nested classes are separated into two different groups. These include static or non-static. Nested classes that are defined as static are called static nested classes. A static nested class interacts with the case members of its outer class.

Nested classes are a way of logically and reasonably grouping of classes that are only utilized in one place. If a class is beneficial to only one other class, then it becomes logical and sensible to insert it in that class and keep the two together. With the static nested classes, this means that you will obtain an added class in the same package.

When you define an affiliate of a class as static, you are stating that it should not be associated with any specific object that will be instantiated from that class. At times they are referred to as class members which means members of the class, rather than attributes or behaviors of individual objects.

In the instance of static nested classes, this essentially means that you get an added class in the same package. This extra class interacts with the containing class in the same way any other class would: a situation where he only needs a particular class.
