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.

有一件事，也许是其他答案忘记提到的一个基本的事情是，封装是抽象。因此，将两者进行对比并寻找差异是不准确的，而应该将封装视为一种抽象形式。

简而言之

抽象使用->封装 ＆ 封装使用->数据隐藏

OR

数据隐藏是封装和的子集 封装是抽象的一个子集

参考:http://www.tonymarston.co.uk/php-mysql/abstraction.txt

class Aeroplane : IFlyable, IFuelable, IMachine
{ // Aeroplane's Design says:
  // Aeroplane is a flying object
  // Aeroplane can be fueled
  // Aeroplane is a Machine
}
// But the code related to Pilot, or Driver of Aeroplane is not bothered 
// about Machine or Fuel. Hence,
// pilot code:
IFlyable flyingObj = new Aeroplane();
flyingObj.Fly();
// fighter Pilot related code
IFlyable flyingObj2 = new FighterAeroplane();
flyingObj2.Fly();
// UFO related code 
IFlyable ufoObj = new UFO();
ufoObj.Fly();
// **All the 3 Above codes are genaralized using IFlyable,
// Interface Abstraction**
// Fly related code knows how to fly, irrespective of the type of 
// flying object they are.

// Similarly, Fuel related code:
// Fueling an Aeroplane
IFuelable fuelableObj = new Aeroplane();
fuelableObj.FillFuel();
// Fueling a Car
IFuelable fuelableObj2 = new Car(); // class Car : IFuelable { }
fuelableObj2.FillFuel();

// ** Fueling code does not need know what kind of vehicle it is, so far 
// as it can Fill Fuel**

一种防止特定对象的数据被外部函数故意或意外误用的机制叫做“数据封装”。

在不包括背景细节或解释的情况下表现基本特征的行为被称为抽象

两者之间存在差异

ABSTRAACTION

and

封装

1.    First difference between Abstraction and Encapsulation is that, Abstraction is implemented in Java using interface and abstract class while Encapsulation is implemented using private, package-private and protected access modifier.

2.    Data abstraction simply means generalizing something to hide the complex logic that goes underneath where Encapsulation is DATA HIDING.


3.    Encapsulation is combining related logic data (variables and methods) where as Abstraction is hiding internal implementation details and expose only relevant details to the user. In a way you can Abstraction is achieved by Encapsulation.
