Data hiding is a concept in object-oriented programming (OOP) that involves hiding the internal implementation details of a class and exposing only the necessary information to external code. In C#, data hiding is achieved through the use of access modifiers (such as private) to restrict direct access to class members from outside the class. By hiding implementation details, you can ensure the integrity of the data and prevent unwanted modifications. Data hiding enhances encapsulation, code security, and promotes a modular and maintainable codebase.
