An object-oriented programming (OOP) approach known as data hiding is used to conceal underlying object characteristics, such as data members. By limiting intentional or accidental modifications and incursions, data hiding safeguards object integrity and grants exclusive data access to only class members.

Data hiding is also known as encapsulation which is an important concept in OOPs that aims to protect the internal state of an object and restrict direct access to its data from outside the object.
