An Abstract Data Type (ADT) is defined by its behavior from the point of view of a user, in terms of possible values, possible operations on data of this type, and the behavior of these operations. This means that the implementation of the class can change (e.g., how the data is stored and manipulated internally), but as long as the interface (the way the class is used by the rest of the program) remains the same, none of the rest of the program needs to change. This encapsulation and separation of interface from implementation is a core concept in software engineering, allowing for flexibility and changes in implementation without affecting the overall system.
