What is Difference between Abstraction and Encapsulation?

 

1	Abstraction is the process or method of gaining the information	While encapsulation is the process or method to contain the information
2	Abstraction is detail hiding(implementation hiding)	Encapsulation is data hiding(information hiding)
3	Data abstraction deals with exposing the interface to the user and hiding the details of implementation	Encapsulation groups together  data and methods that act upon the data
4	In abstraction problems are solved at the design or interface level	While encapsulation problems are solved at the implementation level
5	Abstraction is the method of hiding the unwanted information	Whereas encapsulation is a method to hide the data in a single entity or unit along with a method to protect information  from outside
6	We can implement abstraction using abstract class and interfaces	Whereas encapsulation can be implemented using by access modifier/specifiers private ,protected and public
7	In abstraction  implementation complexities are hidden using abstract classes and interfaces	While in encapsulation the data is hidden using methods of getters and setters
8	The object that help to perform abstraction are encapsulated	Whereas the objects that result in encapsulation need  not be abstracted
