Encapsulation

What is Encapsulation?
Encapsulation is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming where data and the methods that operate on that data are bundled together as a single unit. This unit, often a class, hides the internal state of the object from the outside world and only exposes a controlled interface for interacting with it. This protects the data from accidental modification and allows for easier maintenance and modification of the code.
