	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		try {
			OuterClass oc = new OuterClass();
			
			Class<?> ic = Class.forName("practice.OuterClass$InnerClass");
			Constructor<?> icc = ic.getDeclaredConstructor(OuterClass.class);
			
			Object o = icc.newInstance(oc);
			
			Method m = o.getClass().getDeclaredMethod("myFunction", null);
