some methods private some are not
Hi,
I was going through below link
http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/java/more_class_methods.html
I wonder why getGrade() method is private and other methods are not private.
As it is private getGrade() is being called by separate method examGrade() method using this.getGrade ()
I feel it is bit round about approach.
i was not able to copy source code to run. How do i copy and then paste to eclipse?
please advise

I think they are just trying to introduce topics in a haphazard round about approach. I wouldn't make too much of it nor try to use their teaching style as a guideline on good design practices. Their point is:

Notice that this method is private. Just like field variables, making a method private means it can only be seen inside of this class. It can't be seen by the ExamDetails class.

If you want to master a language, then I suggest that you type a sample program in and deal with your typos by trying to understand the sometimes cryptic error messages that you get. Learning how to debug a program on your own without bothering your colleagues in the workplace is one of the important steps in becoming a professional. Tracking down the cause of the error message will also force you to think a bit more about what you typed in.
