[Solved] Identify the error in this code snippet:class Data: def __init__(self): self.__info = 42 def print_info(self): print(self._Data__info) obj = Data() print(obj.__info) | Python

Python - Encapsulation and Data Protection

Identify the error in this code snippet:

class Data:
    def __init__(self):
        self.__info = 42
    def print_info(self):
        print(self._Data__info)

obj = Data()
print(obj.__info)

AAttributeError because __info is private and accessed directly

BSyntaxError due to incorrect print statement

CNo error, prints 42 twice

DTypeError because __info is not callable

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand private attribute access
The attribute __info is private and name mangled to _Data__info.
Step 2: Accessing private attribute directly from instance
Trying to print obj.__info causes AttributeError because __info is not accessible directly.
Final Answer:
AttributeError because __info is private and accessed directly -> Option A
Quick Check:
Direct access to private attribute causes AttributeError [OK]

Quick Trick: Access private attributes only via mangled name or methods [OK]

Common Mistakes:

MISTAKES

Expecting direct access to private attribute to work
Confusing mangled name with original name
Assuming no error occurs
