Object-oriented languages

• Using this programming paradigm, programmers use classes to define objects in order to model the problem to be solved. Object-oriented programming (OOP) involves modular design, which makes it easy for teams of developers to work together.
• The four main principles of the OOP paradigm are encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism.
• Encapsulation - The state of an object is private, and other objects can only interact with the object's public methods.
• Abstraction - The complexities of how the object works are hidden.
• Inheritance - Subclasses can inherit properties and methods from one or more parent classes.
• Polymorphism - The ability of an object to take on many different forms; specifically for a method with the same name to have many different implementations.
