Question

This is not straight forward question. In my case the outer class variable and the inner class setter method’s argument name is same. like:

class Problem {
    String s;
    int p;
    class Inner {
        String testMethod() {
         return  s = "Set from Inner";
        }
        void setP(int p)
        {
            p=p;  //it will do self assignment
        }
    }


}

now I cant initialize outer class instance variable p with this.p=p as it indicates the inner class. again I cannot do Problem.p=p; it gets an error.
Now how can I assign outer p, keeping the inner Class method setP(int p)‘s argument the
same name p ?

This is how you can/should do it:

Problem.this.p
