Object-oriented languages

• Using the object-oriented programming paradigm, programmers use classes to define objects to model the problem to be solved.
• Object-oriented programming (OOP) involves modular design, making it easy for teams of developers to work together.
• The four main principles of the OOP paradigm are encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism.
• Encapsulation allows us to hide implementation details from other parts of our code.
• Abstraction refers to the fact that the complexities of how the object works are hidden.
• Inheritance refers to the fact that subclasses can inherit properties and methods from one or more parent classes.
• Polymorphism refers to the ability of an object to take on many different forms; specifically for a method with the same name to have many different implementations.
