Inner Class vs Sub-Class Inner class is a class which is nested within another class. It can access all variables and methods in the outer class. A sub-class inherits from another class and can access all public and protected methods and fields in the super class.   Protected vs Default Protected - allow access within the package and any subclass from outside the package. Default - allow access within the package only Default access specifier for variables and method is package protected i.e variables and class is available to any other class but in the same package,not outside the package.   Static To share a method or variable for all objects. cannot override static methods. Even if we try to override static method,we will not get an complitaion error,nor the impact of overriding when running the code. Static methods belong to a class and not to individual objects and are resolved at the time of compilation (not at runtime)   Encapsulation Combining properties and methods in a sin
