What is abstraction in Python? How is abstraction implemented in


Python?

Solution:
Abstraction is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming
that allows programmers to create complex systems by breaking them
down into simpler, more manageable parts.

In Python, abstraction is achieved by defining abstract classes and


interfaces that describe the behaviors and properties of an object
without specifying how they are implemented.

Abstraction helps to reduce the complexity of a program by allowing


developers to focus on high-level concepts and relationships between
objects, rather than getting bogged down in the details of how those
objects work.

By hiding implementation details behind a well-defined interface,


abstraction also makes it easier to modify and maintain a program over
time.

Here is an example of an abstract class in Python.

from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

class Animal(ABC):

@abstractmethod

def talk(self):

pass
class Cat(Animal):

def talk(self):

return "Meow"

class Dog(Animal):

def talk(self):

return "Woof"

# Create instances of Cat and Dog

cat = Cat()

dog = Dog()

# Call the talk() method on each instance and print the result

print(cat.talk()) # Output: Meow

print(dog.talk()) # Output: Woof

Output

Meow

Woof
In this example, Animal is an abstract class with an abstract method
talk(). Cat and Dog are concrete subclasses of Animal that implement
the talk() method. By defining Animal as an abstract class, we can
ensure that all animals have a talk() method, without dictating how
that method should be implemented. This allows us to create more
flexible and extensible programs that can easily accommodate new
types of animals in the future.
