Default accessor occurs when public, protected, or private are not specified. 

Classes can have only public or default access.

Classes can also be modified with final, abstract, or strictfp.

If a class cannot be accessed, its members cannot be accessed.

public class MainClass{
    public static void main(String[] argv){
       System.out.println();
    }
}
class MyClass{
  private i = 0;
}
