Is 'private' a C keyword?

Question

Are \'private\' or \'public\' keywords in ANSI C (or any other C for that matter), or were they only added in C++ (and Java, C#, ...)?

Answer 1

static isn't like private, given that you can't read a static variable even in the constructor of the class (the function which inits members of a struct in C language).

You only can use static variables in the part of the code where they were defined (in a function, a struct, ...).
