• encapsulation
  The ability of an object to hide its internal data and methods, making only the intended parts of the object programmatically accessible.
• enum (enumeration)
  A special form of value type that inherits from System.Enum and supplies alternate names for the values of an underlying primitive type. An enumeration type has a name, an underlying type, and a set of fields. The underlying type must be one of the built-in signed or unsigned integer types (such as Byte, Int32, or UInt64). The fields are static literal fields, each of which represents a constant. The language you are using assigns a specific value of the underlying type to each field.
