Public variable

[Anonymous]

If variable a of class ABC in package 1 is Public but class ABC is private.
Can other class from other package 2 or same package 1 access variable a of class ABC in package 1 ?
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
No..it's not accessible.If the class is private..it becomes the
deciding factor no matter what the access specifier your variable
is having.
It all depends on the class(first) and then variable(Second).
As the cl;ass is private it is not accessible from any package or any class
outside this package where the top class is.
Hope this helps.
