What Is Private?

You probably don't want to let just anyone access your private documents, and you don't want strangers to see your methods. Personal is a keyword that specifies access level and gives programmers control over which unsteady systems are hidden in a class. It also might be that Variables and methods defined with the private keyword may be accessed only by other processes within the course and cannot be accessed by derived classes. You may have heard that the private keyword is "the most underrated feature in all programming". It's true! While it may seem like a boring, simple keyword that specifies access level and gives programmers, it offers much more. Derived classes cannot access processes within the course. It means you can set up a private variable or method and use it as a secret handshake between two elements within your code without worrying about any third party getting into it. So, to keep something personal from your users or co-workers, consider using private variables and methods instead of public ones. It'll save you time later when someone tries to figure out why things aren't working right! Personal is the most mysterious of all of the access specifiers. It's also the best. Private data members are usually accessed through unique methods known as setters, which can call only from within the class scope. It means that private variables and methods are tightly bound to a class and only available within its range. If you try to access a private variable or method from outside its course, you'll get an error message from the compiler! So, what does this mean? It means personal data members are hidden from the outside world. We call them "private." You can think of them as your diary: no one can see it unless you let them read it, but if they do read it, they don't have much freedom in what they can do with it other than look at it (and maybe take notes).
