What is Encapsulation?

Encapsulation is the process of bundling data (fields) and behavior (methods) into a single unit (class) while restricting direct access to some components. This is done to protect the integrity of the data and enforce rules for accessing it.

Key Point: Encapsulation allows you to hide implementation details and expose only the functionality that is necessary.
