Data Encapsulation

Answer 1

Encapsulation is the process of grouping data and functions into a single unit. It is also called data hiding, as it hides the internal details of a class from the user. The user is allowed to access only a limited set of operations on the hidden data through special functions known as methods. Encapsulation helps in hiding both data members and member functions.
