 INTRODUCTION TO
01 ENCAPSULATION

3
What is Encapsulation?
When creating new data types (classes) the details of the actual data
and the way operations work is hidden from the other programmers
who will use those new data types.

4
Why is Encapsulation important?
By controlling how data and methods are
accessed or modified, encapsulation ensures:
● Data Integrity: Prevents unauthorized or
accidental changes to data.
● Security: Sensitive data is hidden from
unauthorized access.
● Ease of Use: Users of the class do not need
to understand its internal complexities.
● Code Maintenance: Internal implementation
can change without impacting external
usage.

 KEY CONCEPTS OF
02 ENCAPSULATION

6
How Encapsulation works?

● Defining Classes and Objects

⇒ Can I use Struct instead of
Class?
● Using Getters and Setters for
Data Access
Default: public private

7
Core principles of Encapsulation
Data Hiding: The internal state of an object is kept private and can only
be accessed through public methods (getters and setters).
Access Control: Access specifiers are used to control the visibility of class
members:
● private: members (attributes & methods) cannot be accessed (or
viewed) from outside the class ⇒ Default.
● protected: members cannot be accessed from outside the class, but
can be accessed in inherited classes. Learn more about Chap 2 -
Inheritance.
● public: members are accessible from outside the class.

How to write in Java & Python?
class BankAccount {
private:
double balance; string password;

public:
BankAccount(double initBalance, string pwd) :
balance(initBalance), password(pwd) {}

double getBalance(string pwd) { return (pwd == password) ? balance

: -1; }

void deposit(double amount) { balance += amount; }

void withdraw(double amount, string pwd) {

if (pwd == password && amount <= balance) balance -= amount;
}
};

Constructor characteristics

A constructor is a special function in a class:

● Same name as the class.
● Not have a return value.
● It is automatically called when an object is created (the programmer
does not call it directly).
● If no constructor is declared, the program automatically provides a
default empty constructor.
⇒ What is the access modifier for the default constructor?
⇒ Can we create a private constructor? (Singleton Pattern)

10
Setters & Getters

WHY we need? Data hiding / Controlled access / Flexibility

HOW they work?
1. Private Data Members: Data members of the class are declared
private to restrict direct access.
2. Public Methods:
○ Getter: Provides controlled access to retrieve the value of a
private data member.
○ Setter: Provides controlled access to modify the value of a
private data member.

03 BEST PRACTICES

12
Exercise 1 - Multiple constructor
Create a Car class with the following private attributes:
● brand (string)
● model (string)
● year (int)
Add the following:
● A default constructor that sets default values.
● A parameterized constructor to initialize all attributes.
● Setters and getters for all attributes.
Write a main function to:
● Create an object using the default constructor and display its details.
● Create another object using the parameterized constructor and display its
details.
13
Exercise 2 - Constructor chaining

Create a Laptop class with attributes:

● brand (string)
● model (string)
● price (double)
Add the following:
● A default constructor.
● A parameterized constructor to initialize all attributes.
● Use constructor chaining to call one constructor from another.
Write a main function to test the class.

14
Exercise 3 (Bonus)

Create a Library system using encapsulation and constructors.

1. Create a Book class with attributes: title, author, ISBN, price, and
stock.
2. Create a Library class with:
a. An array of Book objects.
b. Methods to:
i. Add new books.
ii. Search for books by title or author.
iii. Borrow books (reduce stock).
3. Write a main function to simulate library operations.

15
04 CONCLUSION

16
Conclusion

1. Encapsulation is the foundation of OOP, focusing on bundling data and

functions within a class.
2. The main difference between a class and a struct lies in the level of data
security (private/public).
3. A constructor is a special mechanism in OOP that automatically executes
when an object is created and can cause errors if not properly designed.

Class diagram

Can you write a program based on the above class diagram?

Hands-on exercise A class called Ball, which
models a bouncing ball, is
designed as shown in the
following class diagram.
It contains its radius, x and y
position. Each move-step
advances the x and y by delta-
x and delta-y, respectively.
delta-x and delta-y could be
positive or negative.
The reflectHorizontal() and
reflectVertical() methods
could be used to bounce the ball
off the walls. Write the Ball
class. Study the main() on how
the ball bounces.
