Member Field (Java and C# Cross Reference Guide)

In Java, you can set the scope of a field member to public, protected, or private. Additional modifiers are static, abstract, final (assign only once), strictfp (strict floating point values) transient (do not save to persistent storage), and volatile (all threads see same value).

You can initialize member fields as in:

int age = 0;

In C# you can set the visibility of a member field to any visibility: private, protected, public, internal or protected internal.

You can intialize a member field with a default when declared. If you set the member field value in your constructor, it will override the default value.

Finally, you can use the static modifier (no instance required) and readonly modifier (similar to a constant).

public class Cyborg : System.Object
{

  private string serialNumber = "A100";

  public string cyborgName; 
  public int cyborgAge = 0;
  public static readonly int seriesID = 100;
}
