This is an important concept. You should fully understand this.
In software engineering and computer science, abstraction is a technique for arranging complexity of computer systems. It works by establishing a level of complexity on which a person interacts with the system, suppressing the more complex details below the current level.[1]
Do you understand this?[edit]
Standards[edit]
- Identify examples of abstraction
- Explain why abstraction is required in the derivation of computational solutions for a specified situation
- Construct an abstraction from a specified situation
- Distinguish between a real-world entity and its abstraction
