who said that we need to minimise the class variables..
i am member classes have almost 80 member variables..
but one thing u have to do .. make them private or protected

hello

why do u we use java since it has gud security purpose
right . We make all the variable as private /protected as naga said
mostly . but the use of private
variables will restrict those variables in other classes so thatz the
reason we only declare limited private member variables (where ever
necessary) rest all use public methods /variables .. depending on
functionality as well as complexity of code

bye

but sowmya all the class variables are its properties... that defines an entity in realtime... those cant be public... but they can have setx and getx methods.
