Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), is a way of writing programs by focusing on real-life objects. In the real world, everything we deal with is an object, such as a car, a book, or a student. Each of these objects has certain features and can perform specific actions. In OOP, we try to represent these features as attributes and the actions as functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This programming style helps us organize our code in a way that is closer to how we understand things in real life. It makes large programs easier to design, manage, and extend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this model, we define objects that contain both data (attributes) and actions (functions or methods).<\/p>\n\n\n\n |
