Data Abstraction Example:
Any C++ program where you implement a class with public and private members is an example of data abstraction. Consider the following example:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Adder{
public:
// constructor
Adder(int i = 0)
{
total = i;
}
// interface to outside world
void addNum(int number)
{
total += number;
}
// interface to outside world
int getTotal()
{
return total;
};
private:
// hidden data from outside world
int total;
};
int main( )
{
Adder a;
a.addNum(10);
a.addNum(20);
a.addNum(30);
cout << "Total " << a.getTotal() <<endl;
return 0;
}
When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result:
Total 60
