OOPS
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a
programming paradigm based on the concept of
"objects", which may contain data, in the form of
fields, often known as attributes; and code, in the
form of procedures, often known as methods. A
feature of objects is that an object's procedures can
access and often modify the data fields of the object
with which they are associated (objects have a notion
