Encapsulation (computer science)
- Encapsulation (computer science)
Encapsulation is the grouping together of data and functionality.While the C language used structs to group data together, C++ adds thefunctionality component. This does the following:
# Allows a programmer to explicitly provide the interface to an object
# Allows hiding of implementation details
# Allows programmer to think in an object-oriented way
Encapsulation simplifies programming by modeling the world: the world consists of objects that do things. Thus programs become a collection of objects and how they act, instead of a set of instructions.
Encapsulation: It is the mechanism that binds together code and data in manipulates, and keeps both safe from outside interference and misuse. In short it isolates a particular code and data from all other codes and data. A well-defined interface controls the access to that particular code and data
