Programming Style: Fields

• Some programmers put fields before methods:
  

  public class Greeter
  
  {
  
     private String name;
  
     public Greeter(String aName) { . . . }
  
     . . .
  
  }
  

• From OO perspective, it is better to list the public interface first
• All fields should be private
• Don't use default (package) visibility
