    Encapsulation in Java involves declaring class variables as private and providing public getter and setter methods to access and modify their values from outside the class. This allows control over how and when the variables' values can be accessed or assigned. Getter methods return a variable's value without allowing it to be changed, while setter methods allow passing a new value to assign to the variable. Encapsulation improves security, flexibility, and control over class attributes.

    Encapsulation

    MARK LISTER V. NALUPA


    Instructor
    Encapsulation
    The meaning of Encapsulation, is to make sure that
    "sensitive" data is hidden from users. To achieve this, you
    must:

    • declare class variables/attributes as private (only


    accessible within the same class)
    • provide public setter and getter methods to access and
    update the value of a private variable

    JAVA PROGRAMMING
    Get and Set
    You learned from the previous topic that private variables
    can only be accessed within the same class (an outside class
    has no access to it). However, it is possible to access them if
    we provide public getter and setter methods.

    The get method returns the variable value, and the set
    method sets the value.

    JAVA PROGRAMMING
    Get and Set
    Syntax for both is that they start with either get or set, followed by
    the name of the variable, with the first letter in upper case:

    JAVA PROGRAMMING
    Get and Set (cont…)
    The get method returns the value of the variable name.

    The set method takes a parameter (newName) and assigns


    it to the name variable. The this keyword is used to refer to
    the current object.

    However, as the name variable is declared as private, we


    cannot access it from outside this class.

    JAVA PROGRAMMING
    Get and Set
    If the variable was declared as public, we would expect the following
    output:

    However, as we try to access a private variable, we get an error:

    JAVA PROGRAMMING
    Get and Set
    Instead, we use the getName() and setName() methods to access
    and update the variable:

    JAVA PROGRAMMING
    Why Encapsulation?
    • Better control of class attributes and methods

    • Class variables can be made read-only (if you omit the


    set method), or write-only (if you omit the get method)

    • Flexible: the programmer can change one part of the code


    without affecting other parts

    • Increased security of data


    JAVA PROGRAMMING
    Programming Exercise
    Exercise 1:
    • Create a program that will compute the area of the circle.
    • Allow the user to input the radius of the circle.
    • Create the following classes:
     CircleMain
    • contains the main ()
     allow user to input a radius (floating-point number)
     pass the radius parameter by accessing the public method
    setArea(double radius) with an object
     display the output by accessing the public method getArea()
    with an object

    JAVA PROGRAMMING
    Programming Exercise
    Exercise 1 (cont…):
     Circle
     declare private variables: area (of the type double) and PI (of the
    type double and with a final value of 3.1416).
     create a public setArea(double radius) method which will set the
    value of area (use this formula: A = π r^2)
     create public getArea() method which will return the value of area

    JAVA PROGRAMMING
    Programming Exercise
    Exercise 2:
    Volume of Cylinder = π r^2 h

    Exercise 3:
    Volume of Rectangle = l * w * h
