java类中静态变量自增,静态变量与Java中的静态类名称相同时会发生什么？

In the java example below, can anyone explain exactly why the output of the program is "Orange" ? (this is an interview question)

public class Finder {

public static void main(String[] args){

System.out.println(X.Y.Z);

}

}

class X {

static W Y = new W();

static class Y {

static String Z ="Apple";

}

}

class W {

String Z = "Orange";

}

解决方案

The variable Y obscures the type Y. See the JLS:

6.4.2. Obscuring

A simple name may occur in contexts where it may potentially be

interpreted as the name of a variable, a type, or a package. In these

situations, the rules of §6.5 specify that a variable will be chosen

in preference to a type, and that a type will be chosen in preference

to a package. Thus, it is may sometimes be impossible to refer to a

visible type or package declaration via its simple name. We say that

such a declaration is obscured.

The qualified name X.Y.Z is resolved according to:

6.5.2. Reclassification of Contextually Ambiguous Names

...

If the name to the left of the "." is reclassified as a TypeName, then:

If the Identifier is the name of a method or field of the type denoted by TypeName, this AmbiguousName is reclassified as an ExpressionName.

Otherwise, if the Identifier is the name of a member type of the type denoted by TypeName, this AmbiguousName is reclassified as a TypeName.

Otherwise, a compile-time error occurs.

This is unlikely to occur in practice because of the normal naming conventions for types and variables.
