Abstract Data Types (cont)
ADT interface provides
- a client-view of the data structure (e.g.
FILE*)
- function signatures (prototypes) for all operations
- semantics of operations (via documentation)
ADT implementation gives
- definition of the data structures (representation)
- implementation for all operations as functions
Note: C does not enable us to completely hide the implementation.
