Core Object-Oriented Programming Concepts in C++

Abstraction Explained

Abstraction is the act of representing essential features without including background details or explanations. It is used to reduce complexity and allow for efficient design and implementation.

Types of Abstraction in Programming

There are two main kinds of abstractions in programming languages:

  • Process Abstraction: A subprogram that provides a way to continue a process without revealing the underlying details.
  • Data Abstraction: A technique to separate the interface of a data type

Machine Learning Algorithms: Data Science Essentials

Data & K Nearest Neighbor

  • What is Data? A collection of items & their characteristics, d features or attributes which describe d items & make them unique.
  • Why is Data important? We can use data to extract useful info to detect patterns which may not be visible to the naked eye, which can then be used to make predictions or decisions.
  • Input vector: list of numbers which describe an item.
  • KNN is a supervised learning algorithm, meaning it learns from labeled data.
  • KNN finds similarities by
