Method within a method

Is it possible to have a method within a method?

I would think this was possible, but the attached code is not accepted.

Thanks!

yes you can, its called "nested methods" ... you have not defined and declared the child method before you can call it.

Thank you for the response.
Although I�m not sure I understand.

Would I declare the child() method outside of parent(), in the same manner parent() has been declared?

Could you post an example?

nfgrufio,

I do not think the TS compiler will let you declare a method within another method. However, since you can call methods from within a method where do you see the benefit in declaring the method inside your parent method versus declaring it outside of it?

Yes, that is correct. Thank you for clarifying that for me!
I see now that just by calling a method inside another method, you are using nested methods.
