C++ for Beginners - Encapsulation, Part 1

This lesson covers encapsulation in object-oriented programming, focusing on C++ classes. It explains why standard template libraries are not suitable for inheritance and demonstrates how to encapsulate data instead. The tutorial walks through refactoring a linear program into an object-oriented one, highlighting the use of encapsulation to manage data and methods. The lesson concludes with building and testing the refactored code, emphasizing the benefits of reusable code in OOP.
