Data Hiding

In this tutorial, we will discuss data hiding in Java. Data hiding is a software development technique primarily used in object oriented programming (OOP) to hide internal object details (data members).

The data should not go out directly i.e., outside person is not allowed to access the data this is nothing but “Data Hiding”.
The main advantage of data hiding is we can achieve security.
By using private modifier we can achieve this.

package com.ashok.
/**
 * 
 * @author ashok.mariyala
 *
 */
public class Student {
   private String sid;
   private String sname;
   private String saddr;
}

It is highly recommended to declare data members with private modifier.
