Public class

I have a doubt reg access specifier.

If a class is declared as public will it hold the same for its constructors and its methods implicitly?

thanks

No, they will all have default (package) access modifiers. Exception for a defaulted implicit no argument constructor - that will have an implicit public constructor if the class is public.

Hi Jenny,

Class declaration has nothing to do with method declaration. You have to expicitly give access modifiers to constructors or methods. However, there is one exception. If we do not write any constructors ourselves, in that case the compiler provides us with default constructor and the access modifier for that constructor will be same as the its class's access modifier. Also, a class can have only public or default access levels.

"Also, a class can have only public or default access levels."

For top-level classes, yes. But not nested classes.

Yes. I should have been more specific. Thanks Barry.

Thanks folks,that was a clear explanation
