Packages and Access Specifiers

This document discusses packages, access specifiers, and their scope in Java. It defines a package as a group of classes and interfaces that can contain subpackages. Access specifiers like public, private, protected, and default control the visibility of classes and members. Public allows global access, private limits access to the class, protected allows access within the class and inheriting subclasses, and default allows access within the same package. The document provides tables detailing the scope and elements that each access specifier can be applied to.
