- private: It is an access modifier. Anything declared private cannot be seen outside of its class.

- static: It is used to create a member(block, method, variable, nested classes) that can be used by itself, without reference to a specific instance. For more, refer static keyword in java
- strictfp: It is used for restricting floating-point calculations and ensuring the same result on every platform while performing operations in the floating-point variable. For more refer strictfp keyword in Java
- synchronized: Applicable for blocks methods. It is used to get synchronization in java. For more, refer to Synchronized in Java
- transient: transient is a variables modifier used in serialization. At the time of serialization, if we don’t want to save the value of a particular variable in a file, then we use the transient keyword. For more refer transient keyword in Java
- volatile: The volatile modifier tells the compiler that the variable modified by volatile can be changed unexpectedly by other parts of your program. For more, refer to volatile keyword in java
