basicall i need to know that u say abstration are use to hide the the unnecessary data but in c or c++ it is also done. through printf and so on we hide the unnecessary data ,so how it is the feature of oops? descrives in details plzzzzzzzz.

Abstraction is the hiding of information behind other,
usually simpler, information. In programming, abstraction
is often used to hide implementation or system details
behind a simple interface. For example, in the standard
C library, we open a disk file with fopen(); this hides
the details of disk I/O and system calls behind the
abstraction named "fopen".
In Java, abstraction is used specifically in the Object
Oriented Programming (OOP) sense: hiding the details of
the implementation of an object behind the interface
composed of its methods.
For example, the Java Collections Framework defines the
abstraction called java.util.Map. It is an abstract view
of a software object that maps from one set of objects
into another. The class java.util.TreeMap implements the
Map abstraction.
Abstraction in Java is mostly implemented with interfaces
and abstract classes, but you can actually implement it
anywhere that you hide details behind a method.
Here is a simple example. The abstraction of a factorial
of a positive integer N is that it is the product of N
times the factorial of (N-1). The factorial of 1 is 1.
Exactly how we compute the product is irrelevant, all that
matters is that our code obey the factorial abstraction.
public class Factorial {
public static long factorial(int x) {
if (x < 1) throw new RuntimeException("Bad X");
if (x == 1) return 1L;
else {
long y;
y = 1;
while(x > 1) {
y = y * x;
x = x - 1;
}
return y;
}
}
}
So, in this example, we computed the factorial in a
slightly different way than the definition, but it
always gives the right answer! We've hidden the details
behind an abstraction.
