ABAP Class Visibility Explained

Each ABAP class has three visibility sections - public, protected, and private - that control access to the class's components. The public section can be accessed from inside or outside the class. The protected section can be accessed from inside the class or subclasses. The private section can only be accessed from inside the class. These sections must be defined in the order of public, protected, and private sections.
