Veda Bites are swipeable micro-lessons — each one teaches exactly one
idea. Here's a taste from this kit; the app has the full deck.
💡 Key Idea
Abstraction: Hide Complexity, Show Essentials
What you see is what you need.
Abstraction is the process of hiding implementation details and exposing only essential features to the user. In Java, abstraction is achieved using abstract classes and interfaces.
↳ Abstraction lets you drive a car without knowing how the engine works.

Abstract Class: Partial Abstraction
A class that can't be instantiated.
An abstract class is declared with the `abstract` keyword. It can have both abstract methods (without body) and concrete methods (with body). You cannot create objects of an abstract class.
↳ Abstract classes provide a common base with some shared code.
📖 Definition
Interface: Pure Abstraction Contract
A blueprint of what a class must do.
An interface is a reference type that contains only abstract methods, default methods, static methods, and constants. It specifies a contract that implementing classes must follow.
↳ Interfaces define capabilities without dictating implementation.
