Introduction to EncapsulationIntroduction to Encapsulation

Constructor

Encapsulation is a key concept in object-oriented programming that involves wrapping data and methods within a class. This principle serves to bundle the object's data and protect it from external access and misuse by restricting direct access to its components.

Basic Principles

The core idea behind encapsulation is to keep the internal workings hidden from the outside world. This means that it manages its state internally and only exposes a defined interface for the external world to interact with.

This interface usually includes methods to work with the values and attributes of the object's properties, while keeping these properties private. By doing this, encapsulation ensures that the object's data can only be modified in predictable and controlled ways.

Enhanced Security Encapsulation protects data integrity and prevents unauthorized access by hiding the internal state of objects.
Ease of Maintenance Provides a clear interface, simplifying maintenance as internal class changes don't affect other parts.
Reduced Complexity Compartmentalizes data and operations, aiding in managing complexity and isolating system parts.
Controlled Modification Allows safe modification of object states, minimizing unexpected side-effects and bugs.
