Hi Eswaran

see the following

Access specifiers
------------------------
  
1) The access specifier determines how accessible the field is 
to code in other classes. Access ranges from totally 
accessible to totally inaccessible. You can optionally 
declare a field with an access specifier keyword: public, 
private, or protected.
  
2) private, or protected.
  
2) it will define scope
  
Access Modifiers
-----------------------
  
1) You can optionally declare a field with a modifier keyword: 
final or volatile and/or static and/or transient.
  
2) private,  protected or default.
  
3) It defines the behaviour
