whats the point of OOP encapsulation?
hey guys. i was wondering if smb could help me out? im tired of reading countless articles that are copy pasted from each other so maybe a person and not a bot can explain stuff to me. in all the textbooks its said that "muh encapsulashun" is data hiding (whatever that means), using private fields, getters and setters. so now i have some questions:
1. who are we hiding the data from? lets say i have this:
so? from who i need to hide the "data"?
2. lets say i want to hide "data", shouldnt i put it somewhere more safe? i.e. database, vault, etc?
3. whats the point of having private fields if u can just call the getter/setter?
thanks in advance. im trying to understand whats the point of this stuff.
