5. Class as a Composite Type

A composite data type combines multiple data types into a single entity, notably through classes in programming. Classes encapsulate data and functions, facilitating data abstraction and enhancing modular design. Through the use of access specifiers, visibility of class members can be controlled, ensuring data protection and efficient coding practices.
