Example for getting the reference of Outer Class members inside Inner class

GettingReferenceOfOuterInInner.java

package com.gaurav.corejava.innerclass;

public class GettingReferenceOfOuterInInner {
    String strTest = "WELCOME";
    int num = 100;
    class inner{
        public String testFunction(){
            System.out.println("******************************************");
            System.out.println("CALSS REFERENCE : - "+this);
            System.out.println("GETTING INT INSTANCE VARIABLE : - "+GettingReferenceOfOuterInInner.this.num);
            return strTest;
        }
       
        public String toString(){
            return "MYSELF INNER CLASS REFERENCE OBJECT";
        }
       
    }
    public static void main(String args[]){
        GettingReferenceOfOuterInInner.inner inn = (new GettingReferenceOfOuterInInner()).new inner();
        System.out.println("CALLING TEST FUNCTION OF INNER CLASS METHOD : - "+inn.testFunction());
    }
       
}

Result:-

******************************************
CALSS REFERENCE : - MYSELF INNER CLASS REFERENCE OBJECT
GETTING INT INSTANCE VARIABLE : - 100
CALLING TEST FUNCTION OF INNER CLASS METHOD : - WELCOME
