Access modifiers (or access specifiers) are keywords in object-oriented languages that set the accessibility of classes, methods, and other members. Access modifiers are a specific part of programming language syntax used to facilitate the encapsulation of components. In C++, there are only three access modifiers. C# extends the number of them to five, while Java has four access modifiers,〔http://javapapers.com/core-java/access-modifiers-in-java-explain/〕 but three keywords for this purpose. In Java, having no keyword before defaults to the package-private modifier. Access specifiers for classes:- When a class is declared as public, it is accessible to other classes defined in the same package as well as those defined in other packages. This is the most commonly used specifier for classes. A class cannot be declared as private. If no access specifier is stated, the default access restrictions will be applied. The class will be accessible to other classes in the same package but will be inaccessible to classes outside the package. When we say that a class is inaccessible, it simply means that we cannot create an object of that class or declare a variable of that class type. The protected access specifier too cannot be applied to a class. == Names of keywords == C++ uses the three modifiers called '' public'', ''protected'', and ''private''. C# has the modifiers ''public'', ''protected '',''internal'', ''private'', and ''protected internal''. Java has ''public'', ''package'', ''protected'', and ''private''. The access modifier ''package'' is the default and used, if any other access modifier keyword is missing. This is not the case in C++, where an absence means that the object is accessed privately. The meaning of these modifiers may differ from one language to another. A comparison of the keywords, ordered from the most restrictive to the most open, and their meaning in these three languages follows. Their visibility ranges from the same class to the package where the class is defined to a general access permission. Below, the maximal access is written into the table.抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Access modifiers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
