What is object-oriented programming?

- [Instructor] In this chapter,…we'll be diving deeper into what it means…to create object-oriented programs.…Object-oriented programming is a style of programming…where you organize your programs around objects…rather than actions…and data rather than logic.…In chapter two,…we created a car class that allowed us to create car objects…that had certain pieces of data.…In this example,…we gave each car a license plate number,…an average miles per gallon,…and a paint color.…In more elaborate programs,…we can create many classes…that represent all sorts of objects,…and these objects interact with each other.…

For example,…you might have a crash method in your car class…and call this method when two car objects…crash into each other.…There are many more fundamental concepts…associated with object-oriented programming,…including encapsulation, inheritance,…and polymorphism,…that allow you to make the most of the code you write.…In the following videos,…we will go through each of these concepts…and I will show you examples of how they can be useful…
