Encapsulations is also known as ______

• A. Information hiding
• B. Data abstraction
• C. Data about data
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A Information hiding

Encapsulation may be considered to be the same as information hiding, but the term is often used to describe the practical implementation of information hiding, especially in object-oriented programming.

Information hiding is the process of hiding the details of an object or function. The hiding of these details results in an abstraction, which reduces the external complexity and makes the object or function easier to use. Encapsulation is a common technique programmers use to implement information hiding.
