interface

[rajani adapa]

an interfce can never be protected or private.
is the above statement true .

[Glade Wishart]

This is correct. Top Level classes and interfaces can only have public or package (default) accessibility.

Well thats not quite true...
an Interface can be private or protected if it a Nested Class!
heres an example:

public class test extends Shmur4P
{
    protected interface nestedInter{}
}

I got this code to compile just fine. I tried the same as a top level class and it is true that you cant make it protected or private.
Knowing how the exam questions are marked I think you would have to answer false to that question.
