What is Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)?
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that structures code using objects and classes. Objects represent real-world entities, and classes define the blueprint for creating these objects.
Why Use OOP in Python?
OOP makes code more modular, reusable, and scalable. It helps in organizing complex programs by grouping data (attributes) and behavior (methods) together.
