Abstraction

Abstraction is a fundamental concept in software development and programming that involves exposing only essential features of a system or process while hiding its underlying complexities. By simplifying complex systems and making them more manageable, abstraction enables developers to create more modular, maintainable, and scalable code, making it a crucial technique for building robust and efficient software applications.
