Can anyone explain me access modifiers - 'protected' and 'default?

Actually? I am having a little difficulty understanding 'protected' and 'default' access modifiers. Please help me understand it.

methods and fields which are protected can be used only by classes that extend the given class, that means class Foo{protected int a=0;} a can be used only in class which extends Foo (or extends something what extends Foo etc.) class Another extends Foo{ //here can be variable a used } when you don't put any access modifier the methods and fields are visible within the package of the class
