抽象或封装并不严格要求信息隐藏。信息可能会被忽略，但不一定要隐藏。

封装是一种将事物视为单一事物的能力，即使它可能由许多复杂的部分或思想组成。例如，我可以说我坐在一把“椅子”上，而不是指这把椅子上的许多不同部分，每个部分都有特定的设计和功能，它们精确地组合在一起，目的是让我的屁股舒适地离地板几英尺远。

Abstraction is enabled by encapsulation. Because we encapsulate objects, we can think about them as things which relate to each other in some way rather than getting bogged down in the subtle details of internal object structure. Abstraction is the ability to consider the bigger picture, removed from concern over little details. The root of the word is abstract as in the summary that appears at the top of a scholarly paper, not abstract as in a class which can only be instantiated as a derived subclass.

I can honestly say that when I plop my butt down in my chair, I never think about how the structure of that chair will catch and hold my weight. It's a decent enough chair that I don't have to worry about those details. So I can turn my attention toward my computer. And again, I don't think about the component parts of my computer. I'm just looking at a part of a webpage that represents a text area that I can type in, and I'm communicating in words, barely even thinking about how my fingers always find the right letters so quickly on the keyboard, and how the connection is ultimately made between tapping these keys and posting to this forum. This is the great power of abstraction. Because the lower levels of the system can be trusted to work with consistency and precision, we have attention to spare for greater work.

抽象:以一种简化的/不同的方式来呈现事物的想法，这种方式要么更容易理解和使用，要么更切合实际。

考虑一个发送电子邮件的类……它使用抽象来向你展示自己作为某种信使，所以你可以调用emailSender。发送(邮件,收件人)。它的实际功能——选择POP3 / SMTP、调用服务器、MIME转换等等，都被抽象了出来。你只看到你的信使。

封装:保护和隐藏对象私有的数据和方法的思想。它更多的是让某样东西独立且万无一失。

以我为例。我把我的心率从世界其他地方压缩起来。因为我不希望其他人改变这个变量，我也不需要其他人来设置它来让我运行。它对我来说至关重要，但你不需要知道它是什么，而且你可能根本不在乎。

环顾四周，您会发现几乎所有您接触到的东西都是抽象和封装的例子。例如，你的手机向你展示了一种抽象的功能，它能把你说的话传达给别人——掩盖了GSM、处理器架构、无线电频率以及其他无数你不理解或不关心的东西。它还封装了来自您的某些数据，如序列号、ID号、频率等。

这一切都使世界成为一个更美好的居住地

这里的大多数答案都关注于OOP，但封装开始得更早:

Every function is an encapsulation; in pseudocode: point x = { 1, 4 } point y = { 23, 42 } numeric d = distance(x, y) Here, distance encapsulates the calculation of the (Euclidean) distance between two points in a plane: it hides implementation details. This is encapsulation, pure and simple. Abstraction is the process of generalisation: taking a concrete implementation and making it applicable to different, albeit somewhat related, types of data. The classical example of abstraction is C’s qsort function to sort data: The thing about qsort is that it doesn't care about the data it sorts — in fact, it doesn’t know what data it sorts. Rather, its input type is a typeless pointer (void*) which is just C’s way of saying “I don't care about the type of data” (this is also called type erasure). The important point is that the implementation of qsort always stays the same, regardless of data type. The only thing that has to change is the compare function, which differs from data type to data type. qsort therefore expects the user to provide said compare function as a function argument.

封装和抽象是密切相关的，因此您可以认为它们确实是不可分割的。就实际而言，这可能是对的;也就是说，这里有一个不太抽象的封装:

class point {
    numeric x
    numeric y
}

我们封装了点的坐标，但是我们没有实质性地将它们抽象出来，只是在逻辑上对它们进行分组。

这里有一个抽象的例子，它不是封装:

T pi<T> = 3.1415926535

这是一个具有给定值(π)的泛型变量pi，声明并不关心变量的确切类型。诚然，我很难在真实的代码中找到这样的东西:抽象实际上总是使用封装。然而，上面的内容在c++(14)中确实存在，通过变量模板(=变量的通用模板);使用稍微复杂一点的语法，例如:

template <typename T> constexpr T pi = T{3.1415926535};

我认为封装是实现抽象的一种方式。看看下面的链接。

抽象和封装

让我们以堆栈为例。它可以使用数组或链表来实现。但它支持的操作是推送和弹出。

Now abstraction is exposing only the interfaces push and pop. The underlying representation is hidden (is it an array or a linked list?) and a well-defined interface is provided. Now how do you ensure that no accidental access is made to the abstracted data? That is where encapsulation comes in. For example, classes in C++ use the access specifiers which ensure that accidental access and modification is prevented. And also, by making the above-mentioned interfaces as public, it ensures that the only way to manipulate the stack is through the well-defined interface. In the process, it has coupled the data and the code that can manipulate it (let's not get the friend functions involved here). That is, the code and data are bonded together or tied or encapsulated.

下面这段话帮助我理解了它们之间的区别:

数据封装是一种捆绑数据的机制 使用它们的函数和数据抽象是一种机制 只暴露接口，隐藏实现细节 来自用户。
