Understanding Encapsulation in OOP

Encapsulation is a principle in object-oriented programming that combines data and code into a single unit while restricting direct access to certain components. This helps prevent accidental interference and misuse of the data. An example in C++ demonstrates encapsulation through a 'Student' class with private age data and public methods to set and get the age.

Encapsulation

Encapsulation is the concept of wrapping data and code together as a single unit.

In object-oriented programming, it restricts direct access to some of an object's components,

which is a means of preventing accidental interference and misuse of the data.

Example in C++:

class Student {

private:

int age;

public:

void setAge(int a) {

age = a;

int getAge() {

return age;

};
