Private variables!?

[Bencratus]

Hello,

If I use in only one class e.g. int x = 0; better make private int x = 0; ? Or this doesn't matter?

Thanks,
Bencratus

public modifier—the field is accessible from all classes.
private modifier—the field is accessible only within its own class.

Seems you didn't read everything or you don't understand. I don't even talked about public variable, but you posted what you found on google.
Nevermind

How is this relevant to High Five support?

Our standards say that we should use the smallest scope for the variable.

So private is better than default (without any keyword).

Hi,

Why isn't it relevant? public would be the opposite of private am i right?

public modifier—the field is accessible from all classes.
private modifier—the field is accessible only within its own class.

It's not relevant to High Five support, is a general coding question.

Oh i meant about my reply, since he didn't like it.

If it doesn't belong to the section then you must be right
