Question

Class B is inner class for A. Class B extends class C which is also inner class for A.

  class A{

     class C{

     }
       class B extends C{

       }

  }.

How do I cast an object of type C to type B from outside class A?
I was trying (A.B)objectOfC, but this does not work

---

Ok so the error I get is that java asks me to put “)” after “(A.”. When I do that it says “Illegal start of expression.

Answer 1

class A {
    class C {}
    class B extends C {}
    B b() {
        return new B();
    }
}
public class So9961167 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        A a=new A();
        A.C b=a.b();
        if(b instanceof A.B) {
            A.B b2=(A.B)b;
            System.out.println("it worked!");
        }
    }
}
