About Object Oriented ProgrammingLearn More

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a computer programming paradigm where a software application is developed by modeling real world objects into software modules called classes. Consider a simple point of sale system that keeps record of products purchased from whole-sale dealers and the products sold to the customer. An object-oriented language would implement these requirements by creating a Product class, a Customer class, a Dealer class and an Order class. All of these classes would interact together to deliver the required functionality where each class would be concerned with storing its own data and performing its own functions. This is the basic idea of object-oriented programming or also called OOP.
