access specifier

[Sagar Sharma]

can classes have access specifier other than 'public' and 'no specifier - friendly' specifiers

Yep and No...
A top level class/interface has to be public.
if u try to compile a top level class with access modifier as default or say protected it gives error..
But if a class is not top level class then it can be protected/default....
Hope I am right.
But abt top level thing I am sure that it has to be public..Cannot be any other thing..
