subclass vs inner class

Hi,

What is the difference between subclasses and inner classes? I believe both does the same job but there is difference in their syntax. Please confirm.

Chao.

No. A subclass is class which inherits a method or methods from a superclass. like:

Code:

---

class Car{
}

class HybridCar extends Car {
}

---

HybridCar is a subclass of Car.

innerclass is a class defined inside another class. they are a type of "nested classes"

Code:

---

class OuterClass {
    ...
    class NestedClass {
        ...
    }
}
