Information hiding is a design principle in software engineering that emphasizes the separation of a system's interface from its implementation details. The main goal of information hiding is to reduce system complexity and improve maintainability by limiting the exposure of internal workings to outside components or users. Key aspects of information hiding include: 1. **Encapsulation**: By encapsulating data and methods within classes or modules, details of implementation are hidden from other parts of the program.
