Nesting of Methods

Only an object of that class using a dot operator can call a member function of a class. A member function can be called by using its name inside another member function of the same class. This is known as nesting of member functions.

Example Program:

class nest

{

            int m,n;

            void accept(int x,int y)

            {

                        m=x;

                        n=y;

            }

            int largest()

            {

                        if(m>=n)

                                    return m;

                        else

                                    return n;

            }

            void display()

            {

                        int large=largest();        //calling a method

                        System.out.println("Largest Value="+large);

            }

}

class nesting

{

            public static void main(String []args)

            {

                        nest n=new nest();

                        n.accept(6,7);

                        n.display();

            }

}

Output:

D:\ \programs>javac nesting.java

D:\ \programs>java nesting

Largest Value=7
