Understanding Encapsulation Using Examples
Explore the concept of encapsulation in C# by learning how to bind data and methods inside classes to prevent unauthorized access. Understand the use of private fields, public methods, and single responsibility design through a MoneyCollector class example linked to a vending machine project.
We'll cover the following...
As discussed earlier, encapsulation refers to the concept of binding data and the methods operating on that data in a single unit also called a class.
The goal is to prevent this bound data from any unwanted access by the code outside this class. Let’s continue working with our example of the VendingMachine class to understand the concept of encapsulation.
We know that vending machines collect money from the customers and in return provide them their desired product. This money collection is done with the help of a money collector module installed on the machine. Let’s simulate ...
