What is the difference between public and private methods in programming?
An example of an AI chatbot conversation about public vs private methods in programming.
What is the difference between public and private methods in programming?
Public methods can be accessed from outside the class, while private methods can only be accessed within the class itself.
Can you give me an example of each?
Sure! In Python, a public method is defined like this: def public_method(self): and a private method is defined with a leading underscore: def _private_method(self):.
Why would I want to use private methods?
Private methods help encapsulate functionality and protect the internal state of an object, promoting better design.
Are there any languages that don't support private methods?
Yes, some languages like JavaScript prior to ES6 didn't have built-in support for private methods, but now they do with class fields.
