An Access Modifier is a key word in java that determines what level of access or visibility a particular java variable/method or class has. There are 4 basic access modifiers in java. They are:
1. Public
2. Protected
3. Default and
4. Private
Private is the most restrictive access modifier whereas public is the least restrictive. Default is the access protection you get when you do not specifically mention an access modifier to be used for a java object.
Java programming does not run by just a single piece of class that has the whole functionality. You have hundreds of classes that interact with one another, passing data between them and returning output to the user of the system. So it is very important for members of one class to access members of another. Here members may refer to variables, methods and even classes. So, this is where the access modifiers come into picture. The modifier associated with every member of the class determines what level of visibility that member has.

Three types of access specifier private , public ,protected
There are no access specifiers in C. All functions and data are public.
No, because there is no such thing as an access specifier in Java. There are access modifiers, and security is their entire purpose, so of course you get it when you use them.

No.In Java, the private access modifier restricts member access to the class in which the member is declared. But in C++, private members are also accessible to friends of the class in which they are declared. The rough equivalent in Java would be package private access.Not that Java doesn't have access specifiers, it has access modifiers. When no modifier is specified, default access is implied, which is package private for classes and public for interfaces.
The access control specifiers in C++ are...public - to denote that the member is accessible from any in scope codeprivate - to denote that the member is accessible only from within the containing classprotected - the same as private, except that derived classes are includedPrivate is the default for a class type object, while public is the default for a structure type object.
To ensure that the variables and methods are used only by the necessary classes/methods. If we are going to declare a method or a variable public, it can be accessed by everybody thereby making it vulnerable to unwanted change by other classes. If we make it private, only that class can modify it and hence data is secure. The above is just a simple example of how useful access specifiers are in programming.
You might be wrong: printf and scanf are usable in C++ just as in C. With format specifiers.
