the "public" attribute MEANS this method is accessible from outsidei think i didn't really get what was your questioni also think i'm not the only one in such a position, since you got no answer until now

Well, the JVM can access anything it wants. It does not play by your mortal rules.

i have clear idea of decalring variables and methods as private,protected ,default and publicbut i am not getting the idea of declaring the class as default and public since .in anycase the class is accessible by the interpretor also

the above url says

"A class may be declared with the modifier public, in which case that class is visible to all classes everywhere. If a class has no modifier (the default, also known as package-private), it is visible only within its own package (packages are named groups of related classes梱ou will learn about them in a later lesson.) "

Does that mean java interpretor is in my userdefined package

plz reply

Yes, it compiles it within the scope of the default package.Message was edited by: _helloWorld_
