Public member functions provide controlled access to the object's data while hiding its implementation details. Private member functions are used to implement the object's functionality and are not intended for outside code to access. Public data members violate the principle of encapsulation by allowing outside code to directly modify the object's data without any control or validation. Access specifiers are used to specify the visibility and accessibility of class members and are not a means of data access.
