Additional Notes
Why could a ‘Customer’ class have private fields but public methods?
Track: Java
Topic: OOP
Focus: Fields and State
Java: Fields and State
Answer
To protect data while allowing controlled interaction.
Private fields ensure that the internal state is not directly altered from outside the class. Public methods provide a controlled way to access or modify these fields. In a Customer class, private fields like 'password' are accessed via public methods, allowing for validation and security checks.
