Encapsulation in Java: The Key to Secure and Flexible Coding

Encapsulation is one of the fundamental principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Java

It is the process of bundling the data (variables) and the methods that operate on the data into a single unit or class

Restricts direct access to the object’s data, protecting it from unintended interference and misuse

Allows controlled access to the data by providing getter and setter methods

Enables changes to the internal implementation of a class without affecting the outside code
