Access modifiers dictate which classes, not which instances, may access features. Methods and variables are collectively known as members. Method and variable members are given access control in exactly the same way. *-* private: makes a member accessible only from within its own class *-* protected: makes a member accessible only to classes in the same package or subclass of the class *-* default: access is very similar to protected (make sure you spot the difference) default access makes a member accessible only to classes in the same package. *-* public: means that all other classes regardless of the package that they belong to, can access the member (assuming the class itself is visible) *-* final: makes it impossible to extend a class, when applied to a method it prevents a method from being overridden in a subclass, when applied to a variable it makes it impossible to reinitialize a variable once it has been initialized *-* abstract: declares a method that has not been implemented. *-* transient: indicates that a variable is not part of the persistent state of an object. *-* volatile: indicates that a thread must reconcile its working copy of the field with the master copy every time it accesses the variable. - Study24x7
