What is public access in Java?

What is public access in Java?

Public access in Java means that a class, method, or variable can be accessed from any other class in any package.

Can you give me an example of a public class?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

public class MyClass {
    public void myMethod() {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
    }
}

What happens if I don't use public access?

If you don't use public access, the default access level is package-private, meaning it can only be accessed within the same package.

Are there any drawbacks to using public access?

Yes, using public access can expose your class to unintended use or modification from other classes, which can lead to maintenance issues.
