Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 10.1, Problem 2CP
Explanation of Solution
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.
- • The object’s variable is not directly accessible.
- • Underscore helps in preventing the data from being accessed directly.
The encapsulation rules in Python can be summarized as follows:
Public method | It is accessible from anywhere. |
Public variables | It can be accessed from anywhere. |
Private method | It can be accessed only in their own class |
Private method | It is accessible only in their class or method. |
- • It protects the data from tampering. By declaring the data field as private, direct modifications of properties are prevented.
- • It makes the class easy to maintain and reduces the errors...

- WHAT IS PRINTED INTHE FOLLOWING PIECE OF CODE ?arrow_forwardQuestion 2 Which among the following best describes encapsulation?arrow_forwardJava - Encapsulation A rectangle can be formed given two points, the top left point and the bottom right point. Assuming that the top left corner of the console is point (0, 0), the bottom right corner of the console is point (MAX, MAX) and given two points (all “x” and “y” coordinates are positive), you should be able to draw the rectangle in the correct location, determine if it is a square or a rectangle, and compute for its area, perimeter and center point. To be able to do this, you should create a class Point (that has an x-coordinate and a y-coordinate). Also, create another class called Rectangle. The Rectangle should have 2 points, the top left and the bottom right. You should also implement the following methods for the Rectangle: display() - draws the rectangle on the console based on the samplearea() - computes and returns the area of a given rectangleperimeter() - computes and returns the perimeter of a given rectanglecenterPoint() - computes and returns the center point…arrow_forward
