Packages are what organize Java for instance the files can be stored in "compressed" files known as JAR files (These files load faster in groups but not by themselves).

Answer 3

A package are multiple classes "packaged" together in the form of a JAR file.
The default 'access modifier' will let other classes in the same package/JAR have access to the method or variable it's prefixing.

Answer 4

So u mean this JAR files are packages? And do they contain many Java programs in them?
So when default access modifier is used, does that mean that classes from other programs (but the same package) can access that member?
