Implementing Encapsulation
in Code
1 Define a Class
Create a class with private attributes and public
methods to access or modify those attributes.

2 Declare Private Attributes


Use access modifiers to make attributes private,
preventing direct access from outside the class.

3 Create Public Methods


Implement methods that provide controlled access to
private attributes, ensuring data integrity.
Getters and Setters
Getter
A method that returns the value of a private attribute.

Setter
A method that sets the value of a private attribute.

Controlled Access
Getters and setters allow controlled access to private
data, enforcing data validation and integrity.
Encapsulation Best
Practices
Use Descriptive Names Choose meaningful names for
classes, attributes, and
methods to enhance
readability and
maintainability.
Follow Access Modifiers Use access modifiers
consistently to clearly define
the visibility and access
control for class members.

Implement Validation Incorporate validation logic


within setter methods to
ensure data integrity and
prevent invalid data
assignments.
