What is the default access modifier in Java?

From documentation:

Access Levels
Modifier        Class    Package    Subclass    World
-----------------------------------------------------
public           Y        Y          Y           Y
protected        Y        Y          Y           N
(Default)        Y        Y          N           N
private          Y        N          N           N

From Java documentation

If a class has no modifier (the default, also known as package-private), it is visible only within its own package (packages are named groups of related classes — you will learn about them in a later lesson.)

At the member level, you can also use the public modifier or no modifier (package-private) just as with top-level classes, and with the same meaning.

Full story you can read here (_{Which I wrote recently}):
