Difference between Access Specifiers and Access Modifiers.

 

Answer:

In old languages like C++, public, private, protected, default are considered as

Access Specifiers. Except these, the remaining (like static) are considered as

Access Modifiers.

But in Java there is not terminology like specifies. All are by default considered as Modifiers.

We have 12 Modifiers in Java.

public                   Synchronized

private                   abstract

protected              native

default                  Strictfp

final                     transient

static                   volatile
