Question

The data hiding is taken care by :

• A. Abstraction
• B. Encapsulation
• C. Modularity
• D. Inheritance

Answer 1

Ans: A) Abstraction

 Its main goal is to handle complexity by hiding unnecessary details from the user.

Answer 2

The concept that takes care of data hiding in programming is Encapsulation.

Here’s a brief explanation of each term:

• Abstraction: This is a process of hiding the implementation details and showing only the functionality to the user. Abstraction lets you focus on what the object does instead of how it does it.

• Encapsulation: This is a process of wrapping code and data together into a single unit, like a capsule. It is a protective shield that prevents the data from being accessed by the code outside this shield.

• Modularity: This is a design technique that separates the functionality of a program into independent, interchangeable modules. Each module is self-sufficient and capable of executing a unique part of the desired functionality with little or no interaction from other modules.

• Inheritance: This is a mechanism in which one class acquires the property of another class. It provides code reusability, it allows you to add additional features to an existing class without modifying it.
