Access level with no modifier

Question

Hello
Hello
I read in Access Level in
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/javaOO/accesscontrol.html
and know that I cannot access "no modifier" from a subclass. So I try
public class Exam {
String myString; //no modifier keyword
public class Exam1 extends Exam{
void setMyString(){
     myString="test";
There is no compile error. It can be seen that I can access "myString" of super class Exam from subclass.
Could you please tell me why
Thanks

Answer 1

Because those two classes are in the same package (In your case, that means in the same folder). The access level "with no modifier" is called the default access level or "package private".
