Question about Inner/Outer classes

Question

Hello!
I'm still preparing for java cert exam and have a question. If I have Outer and Inner classes like this:
Outer o = new Outer();
Outer.Inner i = o.new Inner();Does this mean that 'i' has a reference to both Outer and Inner classes. Moreover, does 'i' have a reference to the 'this' of 'o'?
Thanks,
Victor.

"i" doesn't have a reference. "i" is a reference. I think you are trying to express this:
import java.lang.reflect.*;
public class Outer {
    class Inner {
        private int foo;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Outer o = new Outer();
        Outer.Inner i = o.new Inner();
        for(Field field : i.getClass().getDeclaredFields()) {
            System.out.format("%s %s %s;%n", Modifier.toString(field.getModifiers()),
                ((Class)field.getGenericType()).getName(), field.getName());
}
