Object-Oriented Programming

Programming with Objects

Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a way of designing software by thinking about objects and how they interact. Objects are like real-world things, each with their own properties (attributes) and abilities (methods).

Core Ideas

  • Classes and Objects: A class is a blueprint; an object is a specific example.
  • Inheritance: Objects can inherit features from other objects, just like you inherit traits from your parents.
  • Encapsulation: Hiding details inside objects to keep things tidy and safe.
  • Polymorphism: Objects can share the same name for different actions.

Why Use OOP?

OOP makes code easier to organize, reuse, and maintain. It's like building with LEGO blocks—easy to put together and take apart!

OOP in Action

Many popular games and apps are built using OOP, making them easier to update and expand.

Examples

  • Creating a 'Dog' class in a pet simulation game.

  • Extending a 'Vehicle' class to make 'Car' and 'Bike' objects.

In a Nutshell

Object-Oriented Programming helps organize code by using objects that represent real-world things.
