Advantages of Abstraction

Here are some advantages of abstraction:

  1. It reduces the complexity of viewing things.
  2. Avoids code duplication and increases reusability.
  3. Helps to increase the security of an application or program as only essential details are provided to the user.
  4. It improves the maintainability of the application. 
  5. It improves the modularity of the application. 
  6. The enhancement will become very easy because without affecting end-users we can able to perform any type of changes in our internal system. 
  7. Improves code reusability and maintainability.
  8. Hides implementation details and exposes only relevant information.
  9. Provides a clear and simple interface to the user.
  10. Increases security by preventing access to internal class details.
  11. Supports modularity, as complex systems can be divided into smaller and more manageable parts.
  12. Abstraction provides a way to hide the complexity of implementation details from the user, making it easier to understand and use.
  13. Abstraction allows for flexibility in the implementation of a program, as changes to the underlying implementation details can be made without affecting the user-facing interface.
  14. Abstraction enables modularity and separation of concerns, making code more maintainable and easier to debug.

Abstraction in Java

Abstraction in Java is the process in which we only show essential details/functionality to the user. The non-essential implementation details are not displayed to the user. 

In this article, we will learn about abstraction and what abstract means.

Simple Example to understand Abstraction:

Television remote control is an excellent example of abstraction. It simplifies the interaction with a TV by hiding the complexity behind simple buttons and symbols, making it easy without needing to understand the technical details of how the TV functions.

What is Abstraction in Java?

In Java, abstraction is achieved by interfaces and abstract classes. We can achieve 100% abstraction using interfaces....

Java Abstract classes and Java Abstract methods

An abstract class is a class that is declared with an abstract keyword. An abstract method is a method that is declared without implementation. An abstract class may or may not have all abstract methods. Some of them can be concrete methods A method-defined abstract must always be redefined in the subclass, thus making overriding compulsory or making the subclass itself abstract. Any class that contains one or more abstract methods must also be declared with an abstract keyword. There can be no object of an abstract class. That is, an abstract class can not be directly instantiated with the new operator. An abstract class can have parameterized constructors and the default constructor is always present in an abstract class....

Disadvantages of Abstraction in Java

Interfaces are another method of implementing abstraction in Java. The key difference is that, by using interfaces, we can achieve 100% abstraction in Java classes. In Java or any other language, interfaces include both methods and variables but lack a method body. Apart from abstraction, interfaces can also be used to implement interfaces in Java....
