Encapsulation is where information in one part of a program is protected from other parts of the program. This is done with key words such as "public", "private" and "protected".
Public
The "public" modifier allows data to be viewed and manipulated by any part of the program.
Private
The "private" modifier means that only the class in which data is declared can it be viewed.
Protected
The "protected" modifier means that only the class in which data is declared and its subclasses can see the data.
