Access modifiers are keywords in OOP languages (such as Java, C++, C#, etc.) that determine the visibility and accessibility of class members. There are typically four main access modifiers:
a. Public: Members marked as "public" are accessible from anywhere, both inside and outside the class. There are no access restrictions.
b. Private: Members marked as "private" are only accessible within the same class. They are hidden from external access.
c. Protected: Members marked as "protected" are accessible within the same class and any subclasses (inherited classes). They are not directly accessible from external code.
d. Package-Private (Default): Members with no access modifier (also known as package-private or default) are accessible within the same package or module. They are not directly accessible from external code outside the package or module.
