Can we make the java class private

Question

If we can then where and what is the use

Answer 1

The private access modifier is accessible only within the same class.

Answer 2

Yes you can declare a class with private access specifier. But not in main class. You can declare private in inner classes only.

Below a example

class Outer_Demo {
int num;
// inner class
private class Inner_Demo {
public void print() {
System.out.println("This is an inner class");
} }

Answer 3

What is the use of making it private

Answer 4

we cannot declare top level class as private.Java allows only public and default modifier for top level classes in Java. Inner classes can be private.
