Inner class and local variables

by

Local variables always live on the stack, the moment method is over all local variables are gone.

But your inner class objects might be on heap even after the method is over (Say an instance variable holds on to the reference), so in that case it cannot access your local variables since they are gone, unless you mark them as final
