Abstraction in DotNetFramework

Question

What is Abstraction in DotNetFramework

Amira Bedhiafi · Answer

It is the concept of hiding complex implementation details and showing only the essential features of an object. It allows you to define abstract classes or interfaces that expose only the required behavior, enabling cleaner and more maintainable code. In C#, this can be achieved using the abstract keyword for classes and methods, or through interfaces using the interface keyword. For example, an abstract class Shape might define a method Draw() without specifying how each shape (circle, square...) is drawn, leaving the specifics to the derived classes. This principle supports loose coupling, polymorphism, and code reusability. You can explore more in Microsoft’s official C# Abstraction documentation .

Imagine you have a toy let's say a car for example. Abstraction is like having buttons on the robot that say walk, talk, or dance you just press the button and it works, without needing to know how the toy does it inside. Encapsulation is like keeping the toy's wires and batteries hidden inside a cover, so no one can mess with them or break it by accident. So, abstraction helps you use the cae easily, and encapsulation keeps its important parts safe and protected.
