  • Behavioral: Interaction between objects;

Essentials - OOP features

Encapsulation

• Bundling the data, and methods that operate on the data within one unit or class, hiding the values or state of an object inside the class.
• Following this principle we can create robust applications, preventing our objects from going to an invalid state.

Abstraction

• The abstraction principle says we should hie unnecessary details in our classes. And this helps us reduce complexity.
• The object only exposes relevant data.

Inheritance

• Mechanism for reusing code.
• The process by which one class acquires the properties and the functionalities of another class.

Polymorphism

• Polymorphism means many forms. Ability of an object to take on many forms. (For example: using abstract methods and classes)
