Nested classes in java

// how to access private members of a class.
class OuterClass
{
   // outer class private variable
   private int number = 56;
   // inner class
   public class InnerClass
   {
      public int showNumber()
      {
         System.out.println("showNumber() method of inner class.");
         return number;
      }
   }

      OuterClass objOuter = new OuterClass();
      OuterClass.InnerClass objInner = objOuter.new InnerClass();
      System.out.println(objInner.showNumber());
   }

In Java, it is possible to define a class within another class, such 
classes are known as nested classes. They enable you to logically group 
classes that are only used in one place, thus this increases the use of 
encapsulation, and creates more readable and maintainable code.
