Abstraction
Explore the concept of abstraction in object-oriented programming, focusing on how it simplifies complex systems by exposing only the necessary details. This lesson helps you understand the practical implementation of abstraction with real-life examples and code, enabling you to reduce complexity and improve modularity in your designs.
Definition
Abstraction is a technique used in object-oriented programming that simplifies the program's structure. It focuses only on revealing the necessary details of a system and hiding irrelevant information to minimize its complexity. In simpler words, we can say that it means to show what an object does and hides how it does it.
Example
There are countless real-life examples demonstrating the principle of abstraction. Consider the “volume” button on a television ...
