The details of the sorting algorithm are hidden from other parts of the solution

A digital clock

5. Basic principles of OOP
Encapsulation
Inheritance
Polymorphism: objects can determine appropriate operations at execution time.

6. Figure 1-4
A structure chart showing the hierarchy of modules

7. Design guidelines Use OOD and TDD to produce modular solutions
Use OOD for problems that involve data
Use TDD to design algorithms for an object’s operations
Consider TDD to solve problems that emphasize algorithms over data.
Focus on what, not how, when designing ADTs and algorithms.
Consider incorporating existing software into your design.

9. Key issues in programming
Modularity
Modifiability
Ease of use
Fail-safe programming
Style (use functions, private members, avoid global, error handling, readability, documentation)
Debugging (debugger, profiler, assert, trace files)
