The Anonymous Class Conundrum

Question

I think I understand the basics of Anonymous classes but I\'d like to clarify something. when I have a syntax such as this

class A
{
       class Anonymous         


        

Answer 1

class A
{
    public A()
    {
        JButton btn = new JButton();
        btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
        {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
            {
                // ...
            }
        });
    }
}

is more or less rewritten by the compiler as

class A
{
    private class SomeCuteName implements ActionListener
    {
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
        {
            // ...
        }
    }

    public A()
    {
        JButton btn = new JButton();
        btn.addActionListener(new SomeCuteName());
    }
}
