Java Private Fields with Getters and Setters: Why Bother?

💡 Question for Developers In Java, we often use private fields with getters and setters instead of making fields public. But here’s my question: 👉 If we can directly access public fields, why do we still prefer private fields with getters/setters? Is it only about encapsulation, or are there deeper practical reasons in real-world projects? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments 👇 #Java #OOP #Programming #SoftwareDevelopment #Learning
