OOPS, or Object-Oriented Programming, is a programming paradigm that

  • uses “objects” to design applications.
  • It’s a way of organizing code by modeling real-world entities as objects, which contain both data (attributes) and methods (functions) that operate on that data.

  1. Encapsulation

  2. Abstraction

  3. Polymorphism

  4. Inheritance

Benefits of OOPS:

  • Modularity: Code is organized into reusable modules (classes), making it easier to understand, maintain, and debug. 

  • Reusability: Inheritance and other OOP principles allow for code reuse, reducing development time and effort. 

  • Maintainability: Changes in one part of the code are less likely to affect other parts, making it easier to maintain and update large projects. 

  • Scalability: OOP principles make it easier to scale applications as they grow in complexity and size.
