Encapsulation by Interface
Encapsulation means one attribute and method can be modified in different classes. Hence data and method can have different form and logic and that can be hidden to separate class.
Interface is used when we need to create one method with different functionality in different classes. Here the name of the method needs not to be changed. The same method will have to be implemented in different class implementations.
The following program contains an Interface it. There we have declared attribute and a method like mit. Now we have defined two classes like cls1 and cls2. So we have to implement the method mit in both of the class implementation. We have implemented the method mit differently in different class. Now in the start of selection we create two objects obj1 and obj2 for two classes. Next we call the method by different objects and we are getting the function declared in separate class.
