Explanation of Solution
Defining a “private” method:
- The method should be in “private” if a method used only within the definitions of other methods of the same class.
- So, user can access the “private” method within the same class definition.
- User cannot access the “private” method in any other class.
Example:
The example for defining a private method is shown below:
Filename: “sampleProgram.java”
//Create "sampleProgram" class
public class sampleProgram
{
//Method definition for sampleMethod1
public void sampleMethod1()
{
/* Call the method sampleMethod2(). It is private method in the "sampleProgram" class */
sampleMethod2();
//Display message
System.out.println("Sample Method 1");
}
//Method definition for sampleMethod2
private void sampleMethod2()
{
//Display message
System.out.println("Private Sample Method");
}
}
Filename: “Main...
