🔐 Access Modifiers in Java vs Go

Access modifiers control who can see or touch your code, think of them as visibility rules or VIP passes.

🧠 Java Access Modifiers

Modifier	Access Level
public	Everyone
protected	This class + subclasses
private	Only inside this class
(default)	Package-level access

---

🐹 Go’s Access Strategy (Simplified)

Go doesn't use public, private, protected keywords. Instead, it uses capitalization:

Starts With	Visibility
Uppercase	Exported (public)
Lowercase	Unexported (private to package)

🔍 Key Insight

• Java is strict and detailed with access levels (class-level, subclass, package, etc.).
• Go is minimalist, if it’s Capitalized, it’s public; if not, it’s private to the package.

✅ Want access control in Go? Just split into packages and export only what matters.
