Class Encapsulation is the most commonly used form of Encapsulation in modern programming languages. Objects are encapsulated by their underlying objects. This means that:
- Objects can see/modify the contents of any other objects that are instances of the same class.
- Objects can see/modify the contents of their superclass (this is language specific)
- Objects cannot see/modify the contents of any other objects.
This type of Encapsulation exists in contrast to Object Encapsulation.
