abstraction mechanism mechanism

encapsulation to allow users to view an object as a black box that provides services, because objects encapsulate data and implementation. the interface from the implementation of methods changes to code to be more easily made since one can be confident that 'outsiders' are not relying on too many details abstraction mechanism to achieve information hiding Creating a module to contain some algorithm or data structure, thus hiding its details behind the module's interface
