public: Any other class can access that method private: only that own class can access that method

we use static with a method when we don't want to create an object of that. e.g we use public static void main - in case of main method and we never creates an object of main method..!

public : given element is accessible to every class in the package private : given element is only accessible inside the parent class fun like getters & setters are used to use them static : given element is unique for the whole class ( all instances ) i.e. only one copy of the element is created for whole class and all instances
