Access Specifiers in Java

Access Specifiers:-

 Access specifier is a key word that specifies how to access or read the member of a class or the class itself.

There are 4 access specifiers.

1)      Private: - private members are not available outside the class.

2)      Public: - public members are available anywhere outside the class.

3)      Default: -Default members are available outside the class.

Note: - If the user does not use any access specifier then java compiler uses default specifier.

4)      Protected: - protected members are available in class and sub class.

                           

 Private can not be used before the class name. In type1 initialization, if the instance variables are declared as private, they are not available to other classes.
