How does procedural programming differ from object-oriented programming?
How does encapsulation work in object-oriented programming?
Encapsulation is the practice of hiding the internal workings of an object and only exposing a public interface. This allows for better security and reduces complexity by allowing changes to be made to the internal implementation without affecting the external behavior of the object. In object-oriented programming, encapsulation is achieved through the use of access modifiers like public, private, and protected.
