Question

I’m looking at this code and it looks like:

blah("....");
{
  call1(blah);

  call2();  
  {
      inner1("...");
      inner2("...");
  }

}

I’m new to java so interested to know what to search, this style looks interesting.

It’s not doing things inline, it’s just setting up a separate scope. If you declare variables in that “inner” block, they won’t be available in the outer one. It can be useful if you copy-paste a few lines of code and want to make sure you aren’t reusing variables from the first bit in the second bit. I’ve done it occasionally in unit tests, but more often than not, it’s a sign that you may need to refactor a bit.
