Nested Class

 Nested Class:

- A nested class is a class that is defined within another class.

- It can be static or non-static and can access the members of the enclosing class.

- Nested classes are mainly used to logically group classes that are only used in one place or for better encapsulation and organization of code.


Example:

class Outer {

    private int outerVar;


    class Inner {

        void display() {

            System.out.println("Inner class method, outerVar = " + outerVar);

        }

    }

}


Explanation:

In the example above, the Inner class is nested within the Outer class. It has access to the private member `outerVar` of the Outer class.


Sample Use:

Nested classes are commonly used in scenarios where a class is only relevant within the context of another class. For example, in GUI programming, a Button class might be nested within a Window class because it only makes sense to have buttons within a window.


Analogy:

Imagine a company (Outer class) with various departments. Each department (Inner class) has its own set of employees and resources but operates under the umbrella of the company. Similarly, nested classes operate within the scope of the enclosing class but have their own functionalities and characteristics.

Passing and Returning Objects in Java Methods

Passing and Returning Objects in Java Methods In Java, objects can be passed as parameters to methods and returned from methods just like other primitive data types. This allows for flexibility and the manipulation of object state within methods. Let's explore how passing and returning objects work in Java. Passing Objects as Parameters When you pass an object as a parameter to a method, you are essentially passing a reference to that object. This means that changes made to the object inside the method will affect the original object outside the method.  Example: class Car {     String model;     Car(String model) {         this.model = model;     } } public class CarProcessor {     // Method to modify the Car object     static void modifyCar(Car car, String newModel) {         car.model = newModel;     }     public static void main(String[] args) {       ...

Chained Exceptions

 Chained exceptions, also known as nested exceptions, allow you to associate one exception with another. This feature is useful when you want to provide more context or information about the cause of an exception. In Java, you can chain exceptions using constructors that take a `Throwable` (or its subclasses) as an argument. Syntax: try {     // Code that may throw an exception } catch (ExceptionType1 e1) {     throw new ExceptionType2("Additional information", e1); } Explanation: - Inside a `catch` block, you can create a new exception object and pass the original exception (`e1`) as the cause. - The chained exception (`ExceptionType2`) includes a message and the original exception (`e1`) as its cause. - This technique allows you to preserve the original exception's stack trace and context while providing additional information about the higher-level exception. - Chained exceptions can be caught and processed at higher levels of the call stack, allowing for bet...
