What is Object-Oriented Programming?

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a way of writing code that helps us create complex software applications. It's based on the idea of objects, which represent real-world things or parts of a program.

Key Concepts

  • Encapsulation: Hides internal details and shows only what's necessary.
  • Inheritance: Allows one class to borrow properties from another.
  • Polymorphism: Enables objects to be treated as if they're of the same type.
  • Abstraction: Shows only essential features, hiding unnecessary details.

Benefits

  • Easier maintenance: Code is modular and reusable.
  • Faster development: Write code once, and use it many times.
  • Better readability: Code is organized and easy to understand.

Conclusion

OOP helps us write better code by using objects and key concepts like encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction. It makes software development faster, easier, and more efficient.
