Abstraction in programming languages refers to the practice of hiding complex implementation details and exposing a simplified interface for users. This simplification allows developers to work at a higher level of understanding, focusing on the problem's essential aspects rather than getting bogged down in low-level intricacies.

 

For example, in High-Level Languages, functions and libraries provide abstractions. A developer can use a function like print("Hello, World!") without needing to understand how the computer's display system works internally. This level of abstraction makes programming more accessible, efficient, and less error-prone.
