Learn to write cleaner, more modular, and more scaleable code in Python by gaining a master of Object Oriented Programming (OOP). 

You'll start with the basics of object oriented programming and build up to more advanced concepts such as inheritance, information hiding, and polymorphism. Along the way you'll learn how each concept applies to Python in particular, as well as how various Python features make it particularly convenient for OOP.

This course is filled with hands-on coding challenges, playgrounds, snippets, and illustrations to keep things interactive.

## Definition

Encapsulation is a fundamental programming technique used to achieve data hiding in OOP.

> **Encapsulation** in OOP refers to binding **data** and the **methods to manipulate that data** together in a single *unit*, that is, class. 

Depending upon this unit, objects are created. Encapsulation is usually done to hide the state and representation of an object from outside. A class can be thought of as a **capsule** having methods and properties inside it.
