Object-Oriented Programming
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects that contain data and code to manipulate that data.
Overview
Object-oriented programming organizes code around objects that contain both data (attributes) and methods (functions). OOP promotes code reuse, modularity, and maintainability.
OOP principles include encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction, which help create well-structured, maintainable code.
Key Technologies
Key Concepts
Classes & Objects
Define classes as blueprints for objects and create instances (objects) from those classes.
Inheritance
Create new classes based on existing classes, inheriting their attributes and methods.
Polymorphism
Use polymorphism to write code that works with objects of different types through a common interface.
Encapsulation
Encapsulate data and methods within classes, controlling access through access modifiers.
