Answer / ranganathkini
A class can be marked by the "private" access specifier only
if its a nested member of another class.
Top level classes cannot be marked as "private". Hence you
can have private classes in a java file but they must be
nested inside another class.

Answer / manoj purohit
•Only nested classes can be private. If a top-level class
were private, nothing could access it.
So, private nested classes are just like other private
members (methods and variables)--they can only be
accessed "within the body of the top level class that
encloses the declaration of the member or constructor"
Private classes are to be used only by their declaring
class (more or less) just like other private members

private and static keyword in java we can't use those
keyword any of the outer block. we can use those keyword
only and only inside of the block.(Block i.e Class )
NOTE: Outer class can't be private but inner class can be
private(bcz of this is the part of the outer class and also
inner class can be static.)

Answer / veerendra
yes,we can declare if it is inner most class, but outer
class is not allowed because java supports inheritance
concept for reusing the properties from super class to sub
class,at that time the super class is private it wont access
inside,only public features we can reuse it, we can access
and execute through out the world, not private with in the
class onle we can access it.
