Modifier

Definitions

1. A keyword that changes the behavior or accessibility of a class, method, or variable — such as public, private, static, final, or abstract.

   In plain English: A keyword you put on a variable or function to control who can access it or how it behaves, like marking it read-only or hidden.

   Example: "Make it private. If everything is public, your API surface is the entire codebase."
