Abstract
Object-oriented programming is a practical and useful programming methodology that encourages modular design and software reuse. Most object-oriented programming languages supportdata Abstraction by preventing an object from being manipulated except via its defined external operations. In most languages, however, the introduction of inheritanceseverely compromises the benefits of this encapsulation. Furthermore, the use of inheritance itself is globally visible in most languages, so that changes to the inheritance hierarchy cannot be made safely. This paper examines the relationship between inheritance and encapsulation and develops requirements for full support of encapsulation with inheritance. Introduction. Object-oriented programming is a practical and useful programming methodology that encourages modular design and software reuse. One of its prime features is support for data Abstraction, the ability to define new types of objects whose behavior is defined Abstractly, without r...
