Accessing private inner class in the same package

Question

I have two compilation units:

public class OuterClass{

    private static class InnerClass{

        public String test(){
            return \"testing123\";
           


        

Answer 1

Private access modifier is stronger than package one (i.e. not having an access modifier at all in Java). Hence private elements of class - be it fields, methods or inner classes - are accessible only within that class.
