Cover trade-offs, structure, and a concrete example before revealing the baseline response.
Spoiler-free prep mode
Encapsulation — hide state behind methods (private fields, public getters).
Abstraction — expose essential behavior via interfaces/abstract classes.
Inheritance — reuse behavior through parent/child classes (extends).
Polymorphism — same interface, different implementations (method overriding, interface implementations).
Keep examples in Java or C++ as used in your resume. Mention when composition is preferred over inheritance.
