Can someone answer this

Guys,

I like to get the answer for the following question:

What access control keywords should you use to allow other classes to access a method freely within its package, but to restrict classes outside of the package from accessing that method ? Select all valid answers

1. public
2. protected
3. private
4. Do not supply an access control keyword

Thanks a lot for your help

No access modifiers - allow access by classes or interfaces of the same package

protected - same as about plus allowing its sub-class to access it as well.

Since a sub-class can be outside of the same package, so I think the answer is 4.

Thanks a lot guys,

Actually the answer that I gave to the above question was: 2 and 4.

Any other thoughts ?
