Abstract: Two schools of thought underpin the way OO programming languages support encapsulation. Ob¬ject encap-sulation ensures that private members are accessible only within a single object. Class encapsulation allows private members to be accessed by other objects of the same class. This paper describes an empirical inves-tigation into the way encapsulation is used in practice in class encapsulation languages C# and Java. We find arbitrary and inconsistent programming practices and suggest that object en¬capsula¬tion is more intuitive and provides OO design advantages.
