    }    
}    


public class AccessPrivate{    
    public static void main(String args[])    
    {    
        AccessPrivate1 obj=new AccessPrivate1();    

        System.out.println(obj.getValueofA()); //getting the value of private integer of class AccessPrivate1    

        System.out.println(obj.getValueofB()); //getting the value of private integer of class AccessPrivate1    
    }    
}
