Do we have a Readonly field in java (which is set-able within the scope of the class itself)?

Question

How can we have a variable that is writable within the class but only \"readable\" outside it?

For example, instead of having to do this:

Class          


        

Answer 1

there is no way to make a field "read only" from outside. the only - and right - way is to make the fields private and provide only getters, no setters.
