Explaining Encapsulation in an Interview

So, how do we define encapsulation in simple terms for an interview?

• Encapsulation is the process of constructing a container for private variables and methods.
• It is used to manage variables and functions so that only the creator of the class has access to those hidden values.
• Encapsulation also makes it easier to manage classes and their functions because it prevents users from accidentally changing code or making bad changes without knowing how they will affect the overall program.
