- In object-oriented languages, the code inside the definition of an
- abstract data type is isolated from the code outside the
- definition. A C++ program using a class can be denied direct
- access to the data defined in the class. Such a program cannot
- initialize objects or perform any other jobs that require access
- to or knowledge of the internals of the class. Objects should be
- manipulated only by using the intended interface for the class.
