Understanding OOPS: Encapsulation, Abstraction, Inheritance, Polymorphism

Understanding OOPS Object-Oriented Programming (OOPS) is a programming paradigm that helps us structure code using objects and classes. Instead of writing everything as functions, OOPS allows us to model real-world entities with properties (data) and behaviors (methods). OOPS makes our code: ✔️ Reusable ✔️ Secure ✔️ Scalable ✔️ Easy to maintain The Four Pillars of OOPS 1️⃣ Encapsulation Wrapping data and methods together into a single unit (class) and restricting direct access using access modifiers. Protects data from unwanted changes. 2️⃣ Abstraction Hiding implementation details and showing only essential features. Focuses on what an object does instead of how it does it. 3️⃣ Inheritance One class acquiring properties and behaviors of another class. Promotes code reusability. 4️⃣ Polymorphism Ability of a method to perform different tasks based on context. Achieved through Method Overloading & Method Overriding. -> OOPS is the backbone of modern programming languages like Java and helps developers build real-world, scalable applications efficiently.
