You can create but actually no need. Private variable can't be accessed in subclass for that you need setters, gmand getters... Try from this link: saeedeh https://www.codejava.net/coding/java-getter-and-setter-tutorial-from-basics-to-best-practices

Yes you can with the help of getters and setters this applies with inheritance cases and non-inheritance cases because fields and members of a class that are private can only be accessed by that class ONLY, inheritance does not break this rule. So if you have any private member of any class that you need the access in other classes you NEED getters and setters.
