What is procedural abstraction in software engineering?

Answer 1

When we consider a modular solution to any problem, many levels of abstraction can be posed. At the highest level of abstraction, a solution is stated in broad terms using of the problem environment. At lower levels of abstraction, a mmore detailed description of the solution is provided.

Answer 2

A procedural abstraction is a named sequence of instructions
that has a specific and limited function. An example of a procedural abstraction would
be the word open for a door. Open implies a long sequence of procedural steps (e.g.,
walk to the door, reach out and grasp knob, turn knob and pull door, step away from
moving door, etc...

Revised Answer:

The idea behind procedural abstraction is that anything that we are doing over and over again, we abstract that by making procedures thereby lessening the work that needs to be done by the programmers (i.e. repeat code unnecessarily) and we want to make things that change inputs or work on things to improve the existing program rather than keep doing it over and over.

Answer 3

Any representation of data in which the implementation details are hidden (abstracted).
