This might be the duplicate question but I haven't found the answer yet.
Encapsulation:
Encapsulation is the technique of making the fields in a class private and providing access to the fields via public methods. If a field is declared private, it cannot be accessed by anyone outside the class, thereby hiding the fields within the class. For this reason, encapsulation is also referred to as data hiding
Encapsulation:
"It […] refers to building a capsule, in the case a conceptual barrier, around some collection of things." — [Wirfs-Brock et al, 1990]
"As a process, encapsulation means the act of enclosing one or more items within a […] container. Encapsulation, as an entity, refers to a package or an enclosure that holds (contains, encloses) one or more items."
"If encapsulation was 'the same thing as information hiding,' then one might make the argument that 'everything that was encapsulated was also hidden.' This is not obviously not true."
Which one should I go with ? Or have I misunderstood the definition ?
The main point is that it doesn't really matter. Anyone can define a term in a slightly different way, and usually various authors adapt the meaning to the various contexts within which they use those terms.
You will not gain any enlightenment from trying to figure out which one is "right" and which one is "wrong". Quotes taken out of context are especially uninformative.
The important thing is to understand the underlying ideas without reference to the vocabulary items used to refer to them.
