What is the difference between encapsulation and polymorphism?

Question

Accepted Answer

Encapsulation is hiding implementation details while polymorphism is using a single interface for multiple types.

Encapsulation is achieved through access modifiers like private, protected, and public.
Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as if they are of the same class.
Encapsulation is about data hiding and abstraction while polymorphism is about behavior.
Example of encapsulation: a class with private variables and public methods to access them.
Example of polymorphism: a program that can handle different types of shapes (circle, square, triangle) using a single interface.
