Hemant Srivastava · Answer

Abstraction Abstraction hides the internal implementation details and shows only the necessary features of an object. How it's done in C# : Using abstract classes and interfaces . Sample Code : abstract class Animal { public abstract void MakeSound(); // Abstract method } class Dog : Animal { public override void MakeSound() { Console.WriteLine("Bark"); } } Animal is an abstract class that defines a contract. Dog provides the actual implementation. -------------------- Inheritance: Inheritance allows a class to inherit members (fields, methods, properties) from another class. How it's done in C# : Using the : symbol to derive a class from a base class. Sample Code : class Animal { public void Eat() { Console.WriteLine("This animal eats food."); } } class Dog : Animal { public void Bark() { Console.WriteLine("Dog barks."); } } Dog inherits the Eat() method from Animal .

Abstraction: Hides complexity by showing only essential features and hiding implementation details. Inheritance: Enables code reuse by allowing a class to inherit members (fields, methods) from another class.
