-| Abstraction | 1) The counterpart of 'concreteness', it refers to interfaces and abstract classes that define behavior (function signatures) but leave the internal implementation of those functions undefined. 2) A higher-level, generalized unit of shared code. Duplication across multiple functions can often be resolved by creating an 'abstraction' - an additional function containing the duplicated code. | |

Duplication across multiple functions can be resolved by creating an 'abstraction' - a separate function containing the shared code. This adheres to the DRY principle. | |

| Overloading | Some programming languages offer the feature of overloading, which means that two operators with the same name can still be distinguished if they have different signatures. For example, these two functions are overloaded: `tripleNumber(n: float)` and `tripleNumber(n: int)`. | |
