it simply means that the memebers of class(data+functions) are hidden behind the object and are accessible only through it.. this is abstraction and if your are creating any classin your program..you are actually using it 🙇

In object oriented programming, abstraction is one of two central principles (along with encapsulation and inheritance. Through the process of abstraction, a programmer hides all but the relevant data about an object in order to reduce complexity and increase efficiency.
