Accessing private variable

[Uttara Rishi]

Hi Ranchers,

In the Java rules round up game it said that one object can access the private variable of another. But I got an error for the following code.

  
public class a{ 
  private int b=2;
}
 
class b{
   public static void main(String [] args){
   a aa=new a();
   a bb=new a();
   aa.b=bb.b; 
   System.out.println("a of bb is"+aa.b);
}
}
  

Can somebody please explain?


Thanks in advance.

There is nothing to explain. An object of one class type can't access the provide variables of another object of a different class type. Perhaps the "round up" game asked about accessing the variable of another object of the same class type, which is allowed.

Thanks for the correction Henry.
