Java OOP Encapsulation Fundamentals

🚀 LinkedIn Learning Journey – Day 6 📌 Topic: Java OOP – Encapsulation Today I learned about Encapsulation, one of the core principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in Java. Encapsulation means wrapping data (variables) and methods that operate on that data into a single unit (class) and restricting direct access to the data. Instead of accessing variables directly, we use getter and setter methods. This helps protect the data and maintain control over how it is accessed or modified. 💡 Key Learnings: ✅ Encapsulation improves data security and control ✅ Use private variables to hide internal data ✅ Use public getter and setter methods to access or update values ✅ Helps in maintaining clean and maintainable code 🧩 Example: class Student { private int id; private String name; public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } public String getName() { return name; } } In this example, the name variable is private, and we use getName() and setName() methods to access and modify it. Learning these OOP concepts helps in building secure, scalable, and well-structured applications. #Java #OOP #Encapsulation #Programming #LinkedInLearning #SoftwareDevelopment #Java hashtag #BackendDevelopment #SoftwareEngineering #LearningInPublic #LinkedInLearning
