Encapsultaion

Encapsulation is a process that combines data and functions into a single unit called a class. It involves making fields in a class private and providing access to the data through public methods. This allows the data to be hidden from other code, making it more secure and maintainable. An example code shows a class with a private data field and public set and get methods to access it. Encapsulation provides benefits like flexibility, reusability, and maintainability by hiding implementation details and allowing changes without affecting other code.

ENCAPSULATION
WHAT IS ENCAPSULATION?

● Encapsulation is a
process of combining
data and functions into
a single unit called
class.
● Encapsulation is
technique of making
fields in a class private
and providing access to
EXAMPLE CODE
#include<iostream.h>
using namespace std;

class Encapsulation
{
private:
int x;
public:
void set(int a)
{
x=a;
}
void get()
{
return x;
}
};

int main()
{
Encapsulation obj;
cout<<obj.x; //Error!
obj.set(5); //Correct way!
cout<<obj.get();
return 0;
}
Why Is Encapsulation
Important?
Flexibility: It’s more flexible and easy to change the encapsulated
code with new requirements. For example, if the requirement for
setting the age of a person changes, we can easily update the logic
in the setter method.
Reusability: Encapsulated code can be reused throughout multiple
applications. For example, the Person class can be reused
whenever such type of object is required.
Maintainability: Code is encapsulated in separate units (classes,
interfaces, methods, setters, getters, etc) so it’s easy to change or
update a part of the application without affecting other parts, which
reduces the time of maintenance.
Difference between Abstraction
and Encapsulation
● Encapsulation means
● Abstraction lets you focus
hiding the internal details
on what the object does
or mechanism of how an
instead of how it does.
● It solves the problem in object does something.
● It solves the problem in
Design level.
● Ex: Outer look of a mobile Implementation level.
● Ex: Inner implementation
phone, like it has a display
detail of a mobile phone,
screen and keypad buttons to
how keypad button and
dial a number.
display screen are
connect with each other
using circuits.
Advantages of Encapsulation
● To allow one class(“server”) to make a
interact with another class(“client”).
● Data and function may be public or private.
● It hides the complexity from the
implementation.
● It also provides inter independencies.
● A class can have total control over what is
stored in its fields.
Use Case:

People with various requirements use the


capsule accordingly.
Conclusion:
● It is one of the
important feature of
OOPS.
● It is used to wrap the
data and function
together in a single unit.
● Thus, it also provide
inter independencies.
