Concept of Object Oriented Programming

This document discusses encapsulation, one of the four pillars of object-oriented programming (OOP). It defines encapsulation as hiding an object's implementation from other objects while presenting only visible interfaces. An encapsulated object can be thought of as a black box that hides its inner workings and only allows interaction through interface methods. The benefits of encapsulation include providing abstraction and protecting an object's data integrity by controlling access. Setters and getters are discussed as a way to allow controlled access to private data through validation and formatting. An example bank account class demonstrates how encapsulation prevents direct changes to an account balance.

- 4. © Prognoz Technologies Pvt. Ltd Defining Encapsulation 4 Encapsulation is the process of hiding an object’s implementation from another object, while presenting only the interfaces that should be visible. An encapsulated object can be thought of as a black box or an abstraction. Its inner workings are hidden to the client, which only invokes the interface methods. A=10 B=10 C=20 Addition

- 7. © Prognoz Technologies Pvt. Ltd Encapsulating a Class Members of a class must always be declared with the minimum level of visibility. Provide setters and getters (also known as accessors/mutators) to allow controlled access to private data. Provide other public methods (known as interfaces ) that other objects must adhere to in order to interact with the object. 7
- 8. Setters and Getters private char sex; public void setSex(char s) { // validate here sex = s; } public char getSex() { // format here return sex; } Setters are methods that (only) alter the state of an object Getters are methods that (only) return information about the state of an object
