Encapsulation

Encapsulation is a property of objects, which prevents accessing either properties or methods, that have not been previously defined as public. This means that any implementation of the behavior of an object is not accessible. An object defines a communication interface with the exterior and only whatever belongs to that interface can be accessed.
