Doubt

[Puja S]

Hi,

public class A
{
A()
{
}
}

1. The class A can be referenced outside the package in which it is defined.
2. The class A cannot be instantiated outside the package in which it is defined.
3. The class A cannot be extended outside the package in which it is defined.
4. The class A can be referenced, instantiated or extended anywhere.
5. The above code will cause a compiler error. The constructors of public class have to be public.


The answer is 1,2,3.......Why not 4 ?

Constructor has default access. So this class (A) can be instantiated by any other class, if the class is in the same package as that of Class A. So 1,2 & 3 are true.

PLEASE! Give your topic a meaningful title. Two topics with title "Doubt" are confusing to the other members of this forum.
