Java Programming/Keywords/private
private
is a Java keyword
which declares a member's access
as private. That is, the member is only visible within the class,
not from any other class (including subclasses). The visibility of
private
members extends to nested classes.
Please note: Because access modifiers are not handled at instance level but at class level, private members of an object are visible from other instances of the same class!
Syntax:
private
void
method();
