Encapsulation

Encapsulation

What is Encapsulation?
o Encapsulation is one of the cornerstone concepts of OOP.
o Encapsulation is used to wrap up both data and methods into one
single unit.
o The way that data and methods are organized does not matter to the
end – user.
o The user is only concerned about the right way to provide input and
expects a correct output on the basis of the input provided.
Encapsulation

Importance of Encapsulation:
o To hide the internal implementation details of the class.

o Can safely modify the implementation without worrying breaking the


existing code that uses the class.

o Protect class against accidental/ willful stupidity.

o Easier to use and understand.


Encapsulation

Encapsulation using public members:


o As the name suggests, the public modifier allows variables and
functions to be accessible from anywhere within the class and from
any part of the program.

o All member variables have the access modifier as public by default.


Encapsulation

Example: Output:
Encapsulation

Encapsulation using protected members:


o What sets protected members apart from private members is that they allow
the members to be accessed within the class and allow them to be accessed
by the sub – classes involved.

o In python, we demonstrate a protected member by prefixing with an


underscore (‘_’) before its name.

o If the members have a protected access specifier it can also be referenced


then within the class and the subsequent sub-clas.
Encapsulation

Example: Output:
Encapsulation

Encapsulation using private members:


o The private access modifier allows member methods and variables to
be accessed only within the class.

o To specify a private access modifier for a member, we make use of the


double underscore(‘__’).
Encapsulation

Example: Output:

Example: Output:

Advantages of Encapsulation:
o Code Reusability
o Data hiding
o Improved Maintainability
o Easier to understand
o Better control over class properties
o Better class design
