OOP stands for Object-Oriented Programming, it’s a programming paradigm that is based on the concept of “objects”, which can contain data and code that manipulates that data. In C++, OOP is achieved through the use of classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation.
Classes define the blueprint for objects, while objects are instances of classes. Inheritance allows classes to inherit properties and behaviors from parent classes. Polymorphism allows objects to take on different forms, and encapsulation is the mechanism that restricts access to an object’s data and methods, promoting data hiding and security.
By using these concepts, OOP helps to model real-world objects and situations in a more natural and intuitive way, leading to more maintainable and scalable code.
