Line 1: Data encapsulation, also known as data hiding, is the mechanism whereby the implementation details of a class are kept hidden from the user. The user can only perform a restricted set of operations on the hidden members of the class by executing special functions commonly called ''methods'' to prevent attributes of objects from being easily viewed and accessed.
