Should you always use encapsulation?

Question

Java

Some say it's not necessary and it's confusing. Someone says you should do it and everyone will expect you to do it in every class. The book says what you need. How to properly use encapsulation? Set variables via setters, get them via getters? Anytime and anywhere?

Answer 1

Answer 2
