What are Access Modifiers?

Access Modifiers control how variables and methods are accessed within a class, by other classes in the same package, or by classes in different packages, ensuring proper data handling, validation, and security.

The four modifiers are `public`, `default`, `protected`, and `private`.

private static int employeeCount = 1020;

protected Data companyData;

private ArrayList<Employee> list;

public static void addEmployee(Employee wkr) {

	list.add(wkr);

	employeeCount++;

}

class Employee {...} //default modifier - no attribute
