Can Anyone tell the exact difference between Data hiding and Encapsulation ? Not links to stackoverflow or quora. thanks in advn

Answer 1

Encapsulation and data hiding can in many definitions be an interchangeable concept, but consider this:

A variable/field/method can be public, default, protected or private thanks to encapsulation, a public method was encapsulated as well as a private one, but data hiding is a "conceptualized technique" used in programming to avoid the modification of a variable/field/method in a direct way. Setters and getters are good examples of encapsulated data hiding. Hope this helps Ansari.
