Understanding Code Encapsulation Concepts

Encapsulation is the practice of binding data with the code that manipulates it, ensuring safety from external interference. It is analogous to a car's power steering system, which operates internally while providing a single interface to the user. The goal is to keep classes separate and prevent tight coupling, allowing for easy access and use without side effects on the rest of the application.

*Encapsulation is:

- Binding the data with the code that manipulates it.


- It keeps the data and the code safe from external interference.
* Real world and programming concept:
- Power steering of a car is a complex system, which internally have lots of components
tightly coupled together, they work synchronously to turn the car in the desired direction.
But to the external world there is only one interface is available and the rest of them is
hidden. 
- Similarly, same concept of encapsulation can be applied to code: 
+ Everyone knows how to access it.
+ Can be easily used regardless of implementation details.
+ There shouldn't any side effects of the code, to the rest of the application. 
- The idea of encapsulation is to keep classes separated and prevent them from having
tightly coupled together.
