java - How to access shadowed Outer class variable from Inner class?

Question

This is not straight forward question. In my case the outer class variable and the inner class setter method's argument name is same. like:

class Problem {
    String s;
    int p;
    class Inner {
        String testMethod() {
         return  s = "Set from Inner";
        }
        void setP(int p)
        {
            p=p;  //it will do self assignment
        }
    }


}

now I cant initialize outer class instance variable p with this.p=p as it indicates the inner class. again I cannot do Problem.p=p; it gets an error. Now how can I assign outer p, keeping the inner Class method setP(int p)'s argument the same name p ?

Answer 1

This is how you can/should do it:

Problem.this.p
