This presentation delvesinto the fundamental
concepts of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP),
highlighting its key principles and the advantages
it brings to software development.
Introduction
Encapsulation is afundamental principle of OOP that restricts
direct access to some of an object's components. By bundling
the data (attributes) and methods (functions) that operate on
the data into a single unit or class, encapsulation helps
increase security and prevents unintended interference.
Access modifiers, like private and public, control visibility and
interaction with the inner workings of a class.
Encapsulation

Inheritance allows anew class, known as a derived or
child class, to inherit attributes and methods from an
existing class, referred to as a base or parent class. This
promotes code reusability and establishes a natural
hierarchy between classes. It enables programmers to
create a more organized code structure, making it
simpler to implement and maintain.
Inheritance

Polymorphism
Polymorphism is acore concept in OOP that
allows objects to be treated as instances of
their parent class. It enables a single function
or method to operate in different ways based
on the object that invokes it. This concept is
typically implemented through method
overriding and overloading. It enhances
flexibility in programming by allowing
developers to define behaviors that can be
executed on objects of different classes without
knowing their specific types in advance.
Code Reusability
One ofthe primary benefits of Object-Oriented
Programming is code reusability, allowing
developers to create new classes based on
existing ones. This not only reduces
redundancy but also accelerates the
development process. Common functionalities
can be encapsulated in base classes, and new
classes can utilize these shared features,
leading to a more coherent and effective
codebase.

OOP facilitates easiermaintenance and modification of
existing code due to its modular nature. Since objects
are self-contained units, changes made to one part of
a program are less likely to affect other components.
This modular approach allows developers to easily
update systems and correct defects without needing
extensive changes throughout the codebase.
Improved
Maintenance
10.
Object-Oriented Programming enhancesthe scalability
of applications by allowing the systematic expansion of
code. When programs grow, new functionalities can be
added incrementally through the creation of new
classes and methods without modifying existing code.
This supports long-term growth and adaptability,
ensuring the software can manage increased
complexity over time.
Scalability
11.
In summary, theObject-Oriented Programming
paradigm offers numerous advantages, including
encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and a
variety of benefits such as code reusability, improved
maintenance, and scalability. These features
collectively empower developers to create more
robust, efficient, and adaptable software solutions.
