Chapter 4: Abstraction in OOP: Focusing on Essential Details While Hiding Implementation Complexity
Chapter 4: Abstraction: Focusing on Essential Details While Hiding Implementation Complexity Abstract : "Abstraction" in programming means focusing on the key features and functionalities of a system or object, while deliberately hiding the intricate details of how those features are implemented , essentially simplifying complex processes by presenting only the necessary information to the user and concealing the underlying complexity. Key points about abstraction: Hiding implementation details: The core idea is to expose only the essential functions and characteristics of an object, without revealing the technical steps involved in achieving those functions. Higher-level thinking: By abstracting away complexity, developers can focus on the "what" rather than the "how," leading to cleaner and more maintainable code. Real-world example: Think of a remote control for a TV - you only need to press buttons for volume or channel change, not u...
