Abstraction in Classes

Explore the concept of abstraction in C++ classes, where only essential details are exposed while inner workings remain hidden. Understand how abstraction simplifies program structure by letting users interact with functions like area and perimeter without knowing their internal implementation. This lesson helps you grasp data hiding principles and apply them in creating clear, efficient class interfaces.
