If a superclass has a protected field, will subclasses in different packages have direct access to it?

  • Access to protected fields depends on the specific package-level access rules defined in the project.
  • No, subclasses in different packages cannot access the protected field directly; they must use getter and setter methods.
  • Subclasses can access protected fields, but only if they are in the same package as the superclass.
  • Yes, subclasses in different packages can access the protected field directly without any restrictions.
Subclasses in different packages cannot access the protected field directly. Protected members are accessible to subclasses, but only within the same package or through inheritance. Access control rules apply to protect the encapsulation of classes across packages, ensuring proper access control and encapsulation.
