Abstract :
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is rapidly gaining attention as a potential approach to nearly any computer software project. Two of the key features of OOP are encapsulation and inheritance. There are, however, several problems that occur when inheritance is allowed to violate encapsulation. The authors present these problems, highlighting their impact on the software development and maintenance processes, along with our proposed solutions to them
