[color=#000000][font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]In his book on object-oriented design, Grady Booch defined encapsulation as [/size][/font][/color][b]"the process of compartmentalizing the elements of an abstraction that constitute its structure and behavior; encapsulation serves to separate the contractual interface of an abstraction and its implementation."[/b][color=#000000][font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3][2] [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]public private protected are the keywords [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]Encapsulation refers to the bundling of data with the methods that operate on that data. [/size][/font][/color]

[color=#000000][font=verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=3]on the simple what I understood: [/size][/font][/color]
[b]A class can be said it is encapsulated
if it have various members( like public or protected or private)
It has member methods [/b]
