meaning of Abstract Data Type “ADT”

An Abstract Data Type (ADT) is a programming concept


that defines a high-level view of a data structure,
without specifying the implementation details. In other
words, it is a blueprint for creating a data structure that
defines the behavior and interface of the structure,
without specifying how it is implemented.
An ADT in the data structure can be thought of as a set
of operations that can be performed on a set of values.
This set of operations actually defines the behavior of
the data structure, and they are used to manipulate the
data in a way that suits the needs of the program.
ADTs are often used to abstract away the complexity of
a data structure and to provide a simple and intuitive
interface for accessing and manipulating the data. This
makes it easier for programmers to reason about the
data structure, and to use it correctly in their programs.
