# Visibility Modifiers
In Kotlin, there are 4 types of visibility modifiers are available.
Public: This can be accessed from anywhere.
Private: This can only be accessed from the module code.
Protected: This can only be accessed from the class defining it and any derived classes.
Internal: This can only be accessed from the scope of the class defining it.
# Code Sample
Public: public val name = "Avijit"
Private: private val name = "Avijit"
Protected: protected val name = "Avijit"
Internal: internal val name = "Avijit"
# Syntax
<visibility modifier> val/var <variable name> = <value>
