Software abstractions are simplified models or interfaces that hide the complex underlying implementation details of a system, allowing developers to work at a higher conceptual level. Examples include object-oriented classes, APIs, and design patterns that let programmers reuse and reason about code without needing to understand every low-level detail. Mastery of abstraction is central to writing maintainable, scalable software.
