difference between abstraction and encapsulation

Question

Accepted Answer

Abstraction is hiding unnecessary details while encapsulation is hiding implementation details.

Abstraction focuses on the outside view of an object while encapsulation focuses on the inside view of an object.
Abstraction is achieved through interfaces and abstract classes while encapsulation is achieved through access modifiers like private, public, and protected.
Abstraction is used to simplify complex systems while encapsulation is used to protect the integrity of an object's data.
Example of abstraction: A car's dashboard shows only the necessary information to the driver while hiding the complex internal workings of the car.
Example of encapsulation: A bank account's balance is kept private and can only be accessed through specific methods provided by the bank.
