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.

许多答案和例子都具有误导性。

封装是将“数据”和“对该数据进行操作的函数”打包到单个组件中，并限制对某些对象组件的访问。 封装意味着对象的内部表示通常隐藏在对象定义之外的视图中。

抽象是一种表示基本特性而不包括实现细节的机制。

封装:——信息隐藏。 抽象:——实现隐藏。

示例(c++):

class foo{
    private:
        int a, b;
    public:
        foo(int x=0, int y=0): a(x), b(y) {}

        int add(){    
            return a+b;   
        } 
}  

foo类的任何对象的内部表示都隐藏在该类的外部。——>封装。 foo对象的任何可访问成员(data/function)都是受限的，只能由该对象访问。

foo foo_obj(3, 4);
int sum = foo_obj.add();

方法add的实现是隐藏的。——>抽象。

封装隐藏了实现细节，这些细节可能是通用的，也可能不是专门的行为。

抽象提供了一种泛化(例如，在一组行为之上)。

这里有一个很好的阅读:抽象、封装和信息隐藏，作者是Object Agency的Edward V. Berard。

让我用简单的代码示例来尝试一下

抽象=数据隐藏+封装

 // Abstraction
    interface IOperation
    {
        int GetSumOfNumbers();
    }
    internal class OperationEven : IOperation
    {
        // data hiding
        private IEnumerable<int> numbers;

        public OperationEven(IEnumerable<int> numbers)
        {
            this.numbers = numbers;
        }
        // Encapsulation
        public int GetSumOfNumbers()
        {
            return this.numbers.Where(i => i % 2 == 0).Sum();
        }
    }

抽象:只显示必要的信息。让我们关注一下在计算机上进行开关的例子。当系统仍在加载时，用户不必知道发生了什么(该信息对用户隐藏)。

让我们再举一个例子，ATM机。客户不需要知道机器如何读取密码并处理交易，他所需要做的就是输入密码，拿现金然后离开。

封装:处理隐藏类的敏感数据，从而私有化类的一部分。这是一种通过不允许外部访问来保持某些信息对其客户端的私密性的方法。

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};
