Difference between API and Device driver

API vs. Device driver

An is a way for two or more computer programs or components to communicate with each other. In the context of an operating system, a device driver is a computer program that operates or controls a particular type of device that is attached to a computer or automaton.

Abstraction (computer science)

In software engineering and computer science, abstraction is the process of generalizing concrete details, such as attributes, away from the study of objects and systems to focus attention on details of greater importance.
