Private and Static

Make the static field private, so it can’t be changed from outside the class. Have a “get” method to read its value.

public class Employee {

static private int noEmps= 0; //No. Empls ever created

public String name; //Employee’s name

// Constructor -- An Employee named n

public Employee(String n) {

noEmps= noEmps+1;

name= n;}

// Return no. of Employees ever created

public int getNoEmps()

{return noEmps;} }
