What are anonymous classes in Java?

Anonymous classes in Java are a type of inner class without a name, used to instantiate classes on the fly.

Can you give me an example of how to use an anonymous class?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

Runnable r = new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        System.out.println("Running in an anonymous class!");
    }
};
new Thread(r).start();

What are the advantages of using anonymous classes?

They allow for concise code, can access final variables from the enclosing scope, and are useful for implementing interfaces.

Are there any limitations to anonymous classes?

Yes, they cannot have explicit constructors, can only extend one class, and cannot have static members.
