Re: [swift-users] private vs. fileprivate on global declaration in Swift3?

All access control modifiers have a degenerate case (roughly) equivalent to another one, and the typical wisdom for which to choose is to analyze your intent and perhaps future intent. “fileprivate” and “private” are identical at global scope. “internal” and “fileprivate” are identical in single

fileprivate and private aren’t the same thing : try this on a playground : class Foo { fileprivate let test = "test" private let test2 = "test2" } let foo = Foo() foo.test foo.test2 You can see that foo.test work because his scope is the file whereas test2 doesn’t compile : er
