There are lots of definitions for OOP, but 3 primary features of it are:
• Encapsulation: grouping related data and functions together as objects and defining an interface to those objects.
• Inheritance: allowing code to be reused between related types.
• Polymorphism: allowing a value to be one of several types, and determining at runtime which functions to call on it based on its type.
Encapsulation just refers to packaging related stuff together.
// tabtenn0.h -- a table-tennis base class

#define TABTENN0_H_
#include
using std::string;
// simple base class
class TableTennisPlayer
{

string firstname;
string lastname;
bool hasTable;
public:
TableTennisPlayer (const string & fn = "none",
const string & ln = "none", bool ht = false);
void Name() const;
bool HasTable() const { return hasTable; };
void ResetTable(bool v) { hasTable = v; };
};

cout << ": has a table.\n";

cout << ": hasn't a table.\n";
player2.Name();
if (player2.HasTable())
cout << ": has a table";
else
cout << ": hasn't a table.\n";
// std::cin.get();
return 0;
}
the output of the program:
Blizzard, Chuck: has a table.
Boomdea, Tara: hasn’t a table.
allowing code to be reused between related types。Inheritance allows us to define hierarchies of related classes.

Polymorphism means “many shapes.” It refers to the ability of one object to have many types.
you can encounter situations in which you want a method to behave differently for the derived class than it does for the base class!!

Both the Brass class
and the BrassPlus class
declare the ViewAcct() and Withdraw() methods
; these are the methods that will behave differently for a BrassPlus object
than they do with a Brass object.
The Brass class uses the new keyword virtual
in declaring ViewAcct() and Withdraw()
.These methods are now termed virtual methods.
