Module and Package-Level Visibility
C# internal and Java package-private provide visibility that is narrower than public but broader than private. In C#, internal makes a type or member accessible within the same assembly. In Java, package-private means no access modifier is specified and access is allowed within the same package. These mechanisms are useful for keeping implementation details inside a module while exposing only a smaller public API.
C# internal is assembly-level visibility.
Java package-private is package-level visibility.
Both can hide implementation details from external consumers.
They help define module boundaries and reduce public API surface.
C# also provides InternalsVisibleTo for controlled access to internal members by specified friend assemblies.
