Access Modifiers in Methods

Access modifiers control the visibility of methods within classes and across different packages. Common access modifiers are:

public: The method is accessible from any other class.
private: The method is accessible only within its own class.
protected: The method is accessible within its own package or subclasses.
default (no modifier): The method is accessible within its own package.

Code Example

​x
 
public class AccessModifierExample {    private void displayPrivateMessage() {        System.out.println("This is a private method.");    }​    public void show() {        displayPrivateMessage();  // Accessible within the same class    }​    public static void main(String[] args) {        AccessModifierExample example = new AccessModifierExample();        example.show();    }}

Output

This is a private method.
