Question

What are local classes?

(a) Classes declared inside a package

(b) Classes declared inside a function

(c) Classes declared inside a class

(d) Classes declared inside structure

This question was posed to me in an internship interview.

I would like to ask this question from Local Class topic in portion Class Members & Types of Object Oriented Programming

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) Classes declared inside a function

The explanation: The classes declared inside a package are available to all the functions and classes, hence can’t be called local. This is somewhat similar concept that we use to denote variables of a function. The classes declared inside functions will be local to them.
