Public-

            When we use public access then we are free to access these methods,class or variable from any other classes it may be in same package or different.

Default-

         when we not specify any access modifier then by default is Default.

It is access only in package level

Hi friends, In java , using public access modifier,variables and methods can be accessed by other classes. But defualt access modifier is private,So methods and variables can't accessed by other classes.

Hi Murugeswari,We can't say default access modifier as Private because we can access the default variables or methods within a package.thanks Moorthi M

class

public class can be accessed from any other classes... its public to whole java universe...  where as default is package level access... if the sub class is in diff package and is default than it cant be access from other classes out side the package.

instance variables

same thing is here public means can be accessed anywhere in java universe... where as default cant be accessed outta package,,,,

and u know local variable do not have access modifier :)

gotcha ???

Any attribute or method with default access modifier can be accessed from other classes or methods only within the same package  whereas any attribute or method with public access modifier can be accessed from anywhere in the application.
