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

Your solution is: private fields, private setters, protected or public getters (note: protected allows access from same package as well as from subclasses)
