Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm centered around the concept of objects, which are instances of classes. These objects encapsulate data and behavior, allowing for a modular and organized approach to software development. Key principles of OOP include encapsulation, which hides internal state and exposes functionality through methods; inheritance, which enables new classes to inherit properties and methods from existing ones; polymorphism, allowing methods to be used interchangeably even if they belong to different classes; and abstraction, which simplifies complex systems by modeling them with simplified, user-friendly interfaces. This paradigm promotes code reusability, scalability, and maintainability, making it a widely adopted approach in programming languages like Java, C++, Python, and C#.
