Encapsulation:
Data and function that operate on that data are wrapped in a single unit.

Abstaction:
In abstratction, only interface in exopsed, the underlying details of the particular function is hidden from the programmer. So one does'nt need to worry about the details of a particular method, he or she just calls the method
