What are some common mistakes in encapsulation?

What are some common mistakes in encapsulation?

Common mistakes include exposing internal state, not using access modifiers properly, and failing to provide necessary methods.

Can you explain why exposing internal state is a mistake?

Exposing internal state can lead to tight coupling and makes it difficult to change the implementation without affecting other parts of the code.

What are access modifiers and how should I use them?

Access modifiers like public, private, and protected control visibility. Use them to restrict access to class members and protect the integrity of your objects.

How can I ensure proper encapsulation in my code?

To ensure proper encapsulation, always use access modifiers, provide getter and setter methods, and keep your class responsibilities clear.
