16 16  |Concretion|(% style="text-align:justify" %)The counterpart to 'abstraction', also known as 'implementation'. In OOP, refers to non-abstract classes that implement the methods of interfaces or abstract classes. A concretion provides the 'concrete' code defining the workings of these abstract functions.
