Abstraction

Abstraction allows us to represent complex real world in simplest manner. It is process of identifying the relevant
qualities and behaviors an object should possess, in other word represent the necessary feature without representing
the back ground details. Abstraction is a process of hiding work style of an object and showing only those information
which are required to understand the object. Abstraction means putting all the variables and methods in a class which
are necessary.

Encapsulation

It is a process of hiding all the internal details of an object from the outside real world. The word Encapsulation, like
Enclosing into the capsule. It restrict client from seeing its internal view where behavior of the abstraction is
implemented. In Encapsulation, generally to hide data making it private and expose public property to access those
data from outer world. Encapsulation is a method for protecting data from unwanted access or alteration.
Encapsulation is the mechanism by which Abstraction is implemented.

"Encapsulation is accomplished by using Class. - Keeping data and methods that accesses that data
into a single unit" "Abstraction is accomplished by using Interface. - Just giving the abstract
information about what it can do without specifying the back ground details"
