In computer science abstraction is the process of separating ideas from specific instances of those ideas at work. Computational structures are defined by their meanings (semantics) while hiding away the details of how they work. Abstraction tries to factor out details from a common pattern so that programmers can work close to the level of human thought leaving out details which matter in practice but are immaterial to the problem being solved.
