Data Hiding: A software development technique specifically applied to object-oriented programming, where the internal object details (data members) are hidden from external users. Data hiding helps maintain object integrity by preventing users from setting object data into an invalid or inconsistent state, enhancing system security, and reducing the likelihood of unauthorized data manipulation.
