Explanation of Solution

Encapsulation:

  • It combines the data and code into a single object
  • It helps in restricting access to the methods.
  • This helps in preventing the data from being modified due to accident.
  • Object’s variable is not directly accessible.
  • Underscore helps in preventing the data being accessed directly.

The encapsulation rules in python can be summarized as

Public methodIt is accessible from anywhere.
Public variablesIt can be accessed from anywhere.
Private methodIt can be accessed only in their own class
Private methodIt is accessible only in their class or method.
  • It protects the data from tampering. By declaring the data field as private, direct modifications of properties is prevented...

Language is c++  Assignment 6 C: Minesweeper - Simplified. For many years, computers sold with the Windows operating system would contain a game called M inesweeper. The player would be presented with a grid, where they would have to click an empty part of the map. If they clicked on a hidden mine, the game would be instantly over. However, if they clicked a safe spot, a hint about nearby mines would be displayed and the player would click another spot. The goal would be to flag all the hidden mines without hitting one. (As an aside, many people did not know these rules and just clicked around randomly until they hit a mine)We will be developing a simplified version of this game. You will prompt the user for a grid size and then created a 2D array with equal width and height (C++ students: Check the Appendix for more information on how to do this). You will initialize the 2D char array with each element equallying a ‘?’ symbol. You will then randomly generate one “mine” value per…
