👉 Encapsulates is a term used in computer science to describe a data structure that allows other data structures to be contained within it. It is often used when working with large datasets or when dealing with complex algorithms, as it allows for more efficient storage and retrieval of information. In programming languages like Python, Java, C++, etc., the concept of encapsulation can be defined using classes and objects, where a class encapsulates data and provides methods to manipulate that data.
