Encapsulation Def

Encapsulation in Java involves hiding the internal details of an object by using private fields and public getter and setter methods. This practice enhances data security, maintainability, and control over data access, preventing unauthorized modifications. Without encapsulation, data can be exposed and altered in uncontrolled ways.

Encapsulation in Java

Encapsulation is refers to hiding the internal details of an object and restricting


direct access to its data.

This is achieved using:


✅ Private fields (to prevent direct access)
✅ Public getter and setter methods (to control access)

🔹 Why Use Encapsulation?


✅ Data Hiding – Prevents unauthorized access to class fields.
✅ Improved Security – Only methods can modify private fields, reducing unintended
changes.
✅ Code Maintainability – Allows changes to implementation without affecting other
parts of the code.
✅ Better Control – You can add validation logic in getter and setter methods.
🚨 Without Encapsulation, data is exposed and can be modified in an uncontrolled
way.

🔹 Key points
✔ Encapsulation ensures data protection by using private fields.
✔ Public getter and setter methods provide controlled access.
✔ It improves security, maintainability, and code reusability.
✔ It prevents accidental modification of data.
