information hiding in software
A way of designing software so that an object's internal data is protected and used through controlled methods.
Patrón de uso:
encapsulation of [data/details] in [a class/module/object]
Error frecuente:
Do not confuse encapsulation with encryption; encapsulation controls access inside a program, while encryption makes information unreadable without a key.
Sinónimos
information hiding (Often emphasizes preventing outside code from depending on internal details.)
|
data hiding (A narrower term focused on hiding an object's stored data.)
|
abstraction (Related, but broader; it hides complexity rather than specifically bundling data and behavior.)
Antónimos
exposure (The internal data or details are made accessible instead of hidden.)
|
tight coupling (Parts of a program depend heavily on each other's internal details.)

Ejemplos
- Encapsulation lets the class change its internal storage without breaking the rest of the program.
- Good encapsulation means other code should use the public methods, not edit the object's fields directly.
- The framework supports encapsulation by keeping component state private.
Ejemplos para estudiantes
- Encapsulation helps protect data in a program.

concise expression of something
A short or simple example that shows the most important idea or feeling of something.
Patrón de uso:

Sinónimos
summary (More neutral and usually refers to words, not images or events.)
|
distillation (Emphasizes reducing something to its essential points.)
|
epitome (Means a perfect example rather than necessarily a brief expression.)
Antónimos
elaboration (Adds detail instead of reducing something to its essence.)
|
expansion (Makes something longer or fuller rather than concise.)

enclosing in protective covering
The process of putting something inside a protective covering or tiny capsule.
Patrón de uso:
encapsulation of [a substance/component] in [a material/coating]
Error frecuente:
Encapsulation refers to the enclosing process or result; a capsule is the physical container.
Sinónimos
enclosure (More general; can mean the physical act or the thing that surrounds something.)
|
coating (Usually refers to a layer on the outside, not necessarily full enclosure.)
|
sealing (Emphasizes closing something off from air, water, or contamination.)
Antónimos
exposure (The substance or component is left unprotected and open to outside conditions.)
|
release (The enclosed material leaves the capsule or protective covering.)
