What is Abstraction and Encapsulation? Learn by simple example of what is encapsulation and what is abstraction. Very common interview question and Part of Object Oriented Programming.

1. ABSTRACTION AND ENCAPSULATION

2. ABSTRACTION
- Ignoring those aspects of an object that are
not relevant to the current scope of the
problem.
- Reduces scope and helps managing
complexity.

3. ABSTRACTION
- Designing a website to sell new Cars.
Car
Description
Type
Price
…

4. ABSTRACTION
- Do I need to include Service History as a
field? No (Because it does not belong to new
car and is not relevant to current scope)
- Do I need to include Vehicle Registration
Number as a field? No (Because currently we
do not have and it’s not necessary currently.
You get the number after you buy the car.)

5. ABSTRACTION
EXCLUDE WHICH IS
NOT RELEVANT TO THE CURRENT SCOPE

6. ENCAPSULATION
- Provides interface to access the functionality of
the object & hides how it is implemented.
- Keep the attributes and behavior as one unit
– Helps to make it more independent.

7. ENCAPSULATION
- Example of Pressing ’A’ on Keyboard.
Keyboard
Press A --- 65
1000001
Laptop

8. ENCAPSULATION
- Keys are exposed as interface and as an end
user when I press ‘A’, it is printed on the screen.
I do not know how it is implemented.
- Implementation is hidden as to how it displays
that on screen.
- Hiding implementation has a benefit – you can
change the implementation later but you can still
have the same interface. Maintenance is easy.

9. ENCAPSULATION
- Other aspect of attributes and behavior as one
unit is it helps to make the object independent.
- As a programmer, you know when you press
A, 65 (ASCII) is sent as signal but for end user it
does not matter.
- 65 is hidden from end user and it is private to
Keyboard object, only inner methods have
access to it. This keeps them as one unit and
encapsulated.

10. CONCLUSION
- Abstraction comes before Encapsulation
- In Abstraction, we are trying to come up with
the scope of the problem.
- In Encapsulation, we are trying to come up
with the approach to solve and implement
problem in a better way.
