When a member is defined by public specifier, it can be accessed from anywhere in the program. The "public" keyword is used to declare a member as public.Protected
This access specifier is used in inheritance only. The protected members can be accessed only by its subclass. Protected keyword is used to declare the member as protected.Private
When a member is defined by private specifier it can be accessed only the member of its class. The "private" keyword is used to declare a member as private.When you do not specify any access specifier, the default specifier is applied to that member.
