[encapsulation] Abstraction VS Information Hiding VS Encapsulation

Encapsulation- enforcing access to the internal data in a controlled manner or preventing members from being accessed directly.

Abstraction- Hiding the implementation details of certain methods is known as abstraction

Let's understand with the help of an example:-

class Rectangle
{
private int length;
private int breadth;// see the word private that means they cant be accesed from 
outside world.
 //now to make them accessed indirectly define getters and setters methods
void setLength(int length)
{  
// we are adding this condition to prevent users to make any irrelevent changes 
  that is why we have made length private so that they should be set according to 
   certain restrictions
if(length!=0)
{
 this.length=length
 }
void getLength()
{
 return length;
 }
 // same do for breadth
}

now for abstraction define a method that can only be accessed and user doesnt know what is the body of the method and how it is working Let's consider the above example, we can define a method area which calculates the area of the rectangle.

 public int area()
 {
  return length*breadth;
 }

Now, whenever a user uses the above method he will just get the area not the way how it is calculated. We can consider an example of println() method we just know that it is used for printing and we don't know how it prints the data.
