Access modifiers inside a private static nested class in Java

Question

I have a \"private static\" nested class in Java. What is the significance of access modifiers for fields and methods inside this class? I\'ve tried both public and private

Answer 1

Two kinds of nested classes: 1. Static (nested class) and 2. Non-static (also called inner class)

Now, the Outer class, MyList can access all the members of the inner class Node, but you actually use the access specifiers for the members of the class Node (nested class) when you want restrictions of some external class accessing it.
