In OOP, this means that objects belonging to different classes can inherit attributes and behaviors from a superclass, but also have their own unique attributes and behaviors. This allows for the creation of new types and the handling of new situations without needing to rewrite code. Recursion is a technique used in programming for calling a function within itself until a certain condition is met. This allows for repetitive tasks to be automated. However, it is not directly related to adding new types in OOP. Encapsulation refers to the process of combining data and functions into a single unit, also known as an object. It helps with organization and making code more manageable, but it does not specifically address adding new types in OOP. Inheritance is the concept of one class inheriting characteristics from another class. While this is
