These variables can only be accessed within the class they belong to and cannot be accessed directly by other classes. The way to define private variables is as follows:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code><span class=\"hljs-keyword\">private<\/span> \u6570\u636e\u7c7b\u578b \u53d8\u91cf\u540d;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>For example, defining a private integer variable called age:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code><span class=\"hljs-keyword\">private<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-type\">int<\/span> age;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>Private variables typically have public getter and setter methods to access and modify their values. For example, for the private variable &#8216;age&#8217; mentioned above:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code><span class=\"hljs-keyword\">public<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-type\">int<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-title function_\">getAge<\/span><span class=\"hljs-params\">()<\/span> {\r\n    <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">return<\/span> age;\r\n}\r\n\r\n<span class=\"hljs-keyword\">public<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">void<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-title function_\">setAge<\/span><span class=\"hljs-params\">(<span class=\"hljs-type\">int<\/span> age)<\/span> {\r\n    <span class=\"hljs-built_in\">this<\/span>.age = age;\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>By calling the getAge() method, you can retrieve the value of age, and by calling the setAge() method, you can set the value of age.
