private class Base{}

public class Vis{
transient int iVal;
public static void main(String elephant[]){
}
}

when we compile it what would be the output

From one mock exam i found that it is error and indicating that Base should not be Private

Is it Correct...........

u can find this question on the link (question NO:7)

Top level classes can't be private. This is what ive got when i run your code:

private class Base{}
 
public class Vis{
transient int iVal;
public static void main(String elephant[]){
}
}  

modifier private not allowed here
private class Base{}

hi,
In general a top level class cannot be marked with private nor protected access.these top level classes can be marked only as public or can have default access.
(however you can have all these access modifiers for inner classes)
so,ur code gives error.
