a= "Harry";
b= "Tony";

Answer 1

If you didn't want nested then you need to end the first class's block with a }, before the class Names.

Example/

class a
{

}
class b
{

}

Answer 2

Just capitalize the type definition of a and b --> static String a;
As you did with x and y.

Answer 3

i did that but its saying that its an illegal static inside inner class :/

Answer 4

You want this to be nested class or normal class?

Answer 5

normal please :)

Answer 6

@Rrestoringfaith that worked great thanks!, may i ask what nested means? thanks
