Survey of Programming Languages – Assignment1 1. Abstraction is the process by which data and programs are defined with a representation similar to its meaning (semantics)‚ while hiding away the implementation details. Abstraction tries to reduce and factor out details so that the programmer can focus on a few concepts at a time. i) Example of abstraction in OOPS. Consider a bank application in which there is a Customer Class. The necessary details to have are: Name‚ address‚ date of birth. We
