What is abstraction?

Abstraction is a concept in computer science and programming where complex details are hidden or simplified to make a system or piece of code more understandable and manageable. It involves focusing on essential features while ignoring unnecessary intricacies to create a simplified and higher-level representation of a problem or data.

Abstraction in computer science is the process of removing elements of a code or program that aren’t relevant or that distract from more important elements. Abstraction refers to looking at something to maintain the general form or meaning while reducing the presence of specific details.
