You might ask “What is Object-oriented Programming?”

Well… Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that is based on the concept of “objects”, which can contain data and code that manipulates that data. OOP is designed to help developers create reusable, modular code that is easy to maintain and expand upon.

In OOP, a “class” is used to define an object. A class is like a blueprint or a template for an object, and it defines the characteristics of an object, including its data (called “properties”) and the functions (called “methods”) that manipulate that data. An object is an instance of a class, and can be created using the class as a blueprint.

For example, consider a class called “Person” that represents a person with properties such as name, age, and gender.

An object created from the Person class might be an instance of a person named “Alice”, who lives in 999 Beverly Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 99999.

One of the key benefits of OOP is inheritance, which allows one class to inherit the characteristics of another class. This allows developers to create a base class with shared…
