Encapsulation Presentation

Encapsulation is a process of combining data and functions into a single unit called a class. It involves making the fields in a class private and providing public methods to access and modify the fields. This prevents unauthorized access and manipulation of data, and allows one class to interact with another through a controlled interface. Encapsulation improves flexibility, reusability, and maintainability of code 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 the fields via
public methods.
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 hiding
● Abstraction lets you focus on
the internal details or
what the object does instead of
mechanism of how an object
how it does.
does something.
● It solves the problem in Design
● It solves the problem in
level.
Implementation level.
● Ex: Outer look of a mobile phone,
● Ex: Inner implementation
like it has a display screen and
detail of a mobile phone, how
keypad buttons to dial a number.
keypad button and 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:
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.
