Java Programming/Keywords/private

is a Java keyword which declares a member's access as private. That is, the member is only visible within the class, not from any other class (including subclasses). The visibility of members extends to nested classes.

Please note: Because access modifiers are not handled at instance level but at class level, private members of an object are visible from other instances of the same class!


Syntax: 

 void method();
