Homework 6: Object oriented programming

1. In object-oriented programming, what is meant by the following terms?

(a) Encapsulation [2]

Is where you group data and methods like attributes and functions and put them in a class.

(b) Data hiding [2]

This is where you hide data needed to make the program from users, to make sure that
no objects are modified or changed.

(c) Instantiation [2]

It is the process of creating a new object from the class.

(d) Inheritance [2]

It is a feature that allows you to inherit certain characteristics without rewriting the code
for it.

(e) Polymorphism [2]


It is a feature that allows you to change certain methods that an object has from a
certain group.e.g. cat and a dog are from the same category animal. Animal might have
a method that gets given to each animal.Polymorphism stops them from having that
method or overriding it.
