What term describes hiding the details of an operation behind a named interface, enabling reuse?

Data Abstraction

Constant

Procedural Abstraction

Procedural abstraction means packaging a sequence of steps under a single named operation, so callers can reuse it without knowing how it works. By presenting a clear interface, you hide the internal implementation details and focus on what the operation does. This separation allows you to replace or optimize the underlying code later without changing how other parts of the program use it, as long as the interface remains the same. That’s why it best fits the idea of hiding the details of an operation behind a named interface to enable reuse. Data abstraction would focus on how data is represented, not the steps of an operation. A constant is just a fixed value, and a boolean is a data type representing true/false, neither describing the act of encapsulating an operation behind a reusable interface.
