re: Access Modifiers

They are the same thing.

Since Java is a proprietary language on Sun, it has its own personal vocabulary that differs from C++ so Sun could copyright the language.

What C++ calls an access specifier (public, private, protected) Java calls an access modifier.

Likewise where C++ has member functions, Java has methods.
