U cannot define a method inside a method in JAVA but what U can do is to make method call() to another method or same method inside a method //thats why recursion works

No, that would be illegal. The closest you can get are anonymous inner classes: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/355167/how-are-anonymous-inner-classes-used-in-java

No it will generate a error because methods cannot be nested. they are defined separately and compile together.
