In [[wp:Object-oriented_programming|object-oriented programming]], an '''inner''' or '''nested''' |
In [[wp:Object-oriented_programming|object-oriented programming]], an '''inner''' or '''nested class''' is a class declared entirely within the body of another class or interface. |
||
It is not the same as a '''subclass''' which is a class which inherits members from another class or classes and can be declared anywhere the parent class(es) are within scope. However, inner classes may nevertheless be subclasses of other classes as well. |
