📌 What You Will Learn

Understand the concept of Object Oriented Programming
Define a class as a blueprint for creating objects
Create objects from a class blueprint
Explain why OOP is useful for real-world modeling
Identify the key OOP terms: class, object, method, and attribute

Object-oriented programming is a way of organizing code around objects and classes.

It helps us model real-world things in a structured way.

A class is a blueprint or model used to create objects.

It does not occupy memory by itself; memory is allocated only when an object is created from it.
