Data Abstraction

Data Abstraction:

o      Abstraction refers representation of necessary features without including more details or explanations.

o      Classes use the concept of abstraction.

o      Classes define list of abstract attributes like height, weight etc.

o      These attributes are sometimes called data members because they hold information. The functions that operate on these data are sometimes called methods or member functions.

o      Since classes use the concept of data abstraction, they are known as Abstract Data Types (ADT).
