Modifiers can be used to change the behaviour of functions in a declarative way. For example, you can use a modifier to automatically check a condition prior to executing the function. Modifiers are code that can be run before and / or after a function call.

Modifiers can be used to:

• Restrict access
• Validate inputs
• Guard against reentrancy hack

When reading the code of a smart contract, you will see multiple types of modifiers. These modifiers help control the visibility and usability of the connected function or variable:

• External - Functions that will be called by outside contracts. These functions can not be called internally.
• Internal - Functions that are only accessed only within the contract in which it is declared or any connected contracts.
• Public - Functions and variables that can be called both internally and externally by outside contracts.
• Private - Functions and variables that can only be called in the contract in which it is declared. These functions cannot be called by connected contracts either.
