Program Plan Intro

Data attribute:

  • Data attributes are the properties of class that are stored in an object.
  • The values of the data items which are stored inside an object are called data attributes.
  • The data attributes can be accessed using dot operator.
  •  For example, a class “Car” has the properties such as car model, manufacture date, car name. These properties are the data attribute of “Car”.

Encapsulation:

  • It combines the data and code into a single object
  • It helps in restricting access to the methods.
  • This helps in preventing the data from being modified due to accident.
  • Object’s variable is not directly accessible.
  • Underscore helps in preventing the data being accessed directly.

The encapsulation rules in python can be summarized as

Public methodIt is accessible from anywhere.
Public variablesIt can be accessed from anywhere.
Private methodIt can be accessed only in their own class
Private methodIt is accessible only in their class or method.
