What Is Encapsulation?
Encapsulation is the practice of bundling data (properties) and methods that operate on that data within a class and restricting direct access to them from outside the class.
Key Features of Encapsulation:
- Protects the internal state of an object.
- Provides controlled access to class properties using methods.
- Helps maintain data integrity.
Tip: Encapsulation is a fundamental concept for building secure and modular applications.
