Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) From Core Concepts to Modern Software Development and AI-Assisted Engineering 1. Introduction to OOP Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a software design paradigm that organizes software around objects , which combine data and behavior. Instead of building an application only as a sequence of procedures or functions, OOP allows developers to model a system using classes and objects that represent real-world or business concepts.
