The document explains the differences between C++ abstract classes and Java interfaces, highlighting that C++ abstract classes contain at least one pure virtual function while Java interfaces only include abstract methods. It also discusses 'Naming Encapsulation' in Java, which involves grouping code and data into a single unit, allowing for controlled access to class data through getter and setter methods. This encapsulation aids in data protection and enhances code maintainability.

Step 1/2
A)

C++ abstract class

An abstract class in C++ is a class that has at least one pure virtual function (i.e., a function that has no definition). The classes
inheriting the abstract class must provide a definition for the pure virtual function; otherwise, the subclass would become an
abstract class itself.

Abstract classes are essential to providing an abstraction to the code to make it reusable and extendable. For example, a
Vehicle parent class with Truck and Motorbike inheriting from it is an abstraction that easily allows more vehicles to be added.
However, even though all vehicles have wheels, not all vehicles have the same number of wheels – this is where a pure virtual
function is needed.

java interface:

The interface in Java is a mechanism to achieve abstraction

There can be only abstract methods in the Java interface, not method body. It is used to achieve abstraction and multiple
inheritance in Java

There are mainly three reasons to use interface. They are given below:

It is used to achieve abstraction.

By interface, we can support the functionality of multiple inheritance.

It can be used to achieve loose coupling.

Step 2/2
Naming Encapsulation

Encapsulation in Java is the process of grouping code and data into one unit, for example, a capsule mixed with
several drugs.

We can create a fully integrated classroom in Java by making all class data members private. We can now use setter
and getter methods to set and retrieve data from it.

By providing only a setter or getter method, you can make the class read-only or write-only. In other words, you can skip getter
or setter modes.

Gives you control over the data. Suppose you want to set an id value that should be greater than 100 only, you can write the
mind within the setter method. You can write logic so you do not save negative numbers in setup methods.

It is a way to achieve data encryption in Java because another class will not be able to access data through private
data members.

The encapsulate class is easy to test. Therefore, it is best to test the unit.

Standard IDEs provide a place to make getters and setters. Therefore, it is easy and quick to build a compact class in Java.

Final answer
Abstract classes are essential to providing an abstraction to the code to make it reusable and extendable. For
example, a Vehicle parent class with Truck and Motorbike inheriting from it is an abstraction that easily allows more
vehicles to be added.

By providing only a setter or getter method, you can make the class read-only or write-only. In other words, you can
skip getter or setter modes.
