Abstract

One of the most appreciated advantages of object-oriented object-oriented versus other modern programming paradigms is the direct support for each of the most important and used principles of abstraction. The Dictionary of the Object Technology defines abstraction as “Any model that includes the most important, essential, or distinguishing aspects of something while suppressing or ignoring less important, immaterial, or diversionary details. The result of removing distinctions so as to emphasize commonalities.” Abstraction Abstraction is an effective way to manage complexity as it allows for concentrating on relevant characteristics of a problem. Abstraction is a very relative notion; it is domain and perspective dependent. The same characteristics can be relevant in a particular context and irrelevant in another one.
