Answer:

The answer to this question is given below in the explanation section.

Explanation:

An algorithm is the list of a finite set of instructions and rules that a computer needs to do to complete a task in order to solve a problem.

In short, an algorithm is a series of instructions that are implemented step by step to solve a problem. For example, you could consider a pizza recipe an algorithm for making a pizza in an everyday life routine. But when you are talking about using algorithms in computation and in mathematics. It means that solving a problem using a series of steps step by step.

For example, your everyday tasks aligned on a google calendar and remind you about your tasks using the alarm, etc- how to implement this using set of instructions and rules- is an algorithm.

Solving a quadratic equation is another example of an algorithm.

Binary search, array sorting are an example of an algorithm in computation. Because these algorithms based on the execution of step-by-step instruction to solve a problem such as sorting a list of numbers etc.

Data hiding, which means that critical data stored inside the object is protected from code outside the object, is accomplished

algol [13]

Answer:

Option (D) using the private access specifier on the class fields

Explanation:

The private access modifier can be used to hide the data.
Methods and data variables ( fields ) can be declared with the private access modifier.
Data hiding is a OOPS Concept which can be achieved with the private keyword (private access modifier).
The access modifiers are of types Public, Private, Protected and Default ( no access modifier - no need to explicitly specify the default keyword).
Data hiding means to hide the data, the data is contained in the class variables.So, option (d) using private access modifier on the class fields is correct option.
Option (A) is wrong as the using the public access modifier doesn't hide anything. It is public and is visible to the public.
Option (B) is wrong as using the private access modifier on the methods means it is hiding the implementation of the methods not the data.
Option (C) is wrong as using private access modifiers on class definition means making the classes not visible to other classes it doesn't mean data hiding as the data is contained in the class variables.
