Object-Oriented Programming

Glossaries

Term	Definition
Object-Oriented Programming	A fundamental concept in programming representing a real-world entity with properties (attributes) and methods (functions). In OOP, an object is a fundamental building block that encapsulates data (properties) and the functionality to manipulate that data (methods). It represents a real-world entity or concept with its own state and behavior. Here are some key aspects of objects in OOP: Properties: Store data relevant to the object, like a user's name, product price, or button label. Methods: Functions defined within the object that operate on its properties, like setting username, calculating price, or handling button clicks. Classes: Blueprints for creating objects, defining their properties and methods. Multiple objects can be instantiated from the same class, each with its own unique data. Encapsulation: Objects bundle data and methods together, restricting direct access to internal properties and promoting data security. OOP is a popular paradigm in web development, promoting code organization, reusability, and maintainability through well-defined objects and their interactions. 2. JavaScript Objects: JavaScript, a widely used web development language, has its own concept of objects, although not strictly adhering to traditional OOP principles. Here, objects are collections of key-value pairs, where keys are strings and values can be various data types. Synonyms: OOP

A fundamental concept in programming representing a real-world entity with properties (attributes) and methods (functions).

In OOP, an object is a fundamental building block that encapsulates data (properties) and the functionality to manipulate that data (methods). It represents a real-world entity or concept with its own state and behavior.

Here are some key aspects of objects in OOP:

Properties: Store data relevant to the object, like a user's name, product price, or button label.
Methods: Functions defined within the object that operate on its properties, like setting username, calculating price, or handling button clicks.
Classes: Blueprints for creating objects, defining their properties and methods. Multiple objects can be instantiated from the same class, each with its own unique data.
Encapsulation: Objects bundle data and methods together, restricting direct access to internal properties and promoting data security.

OOP is a popular paradigm in web development, promoting code organization, reusability, and maintainability through well-defined objects and their interactions.

2. JavaScript Objects:

JavaScript, a widely used web development language, has its own concept of objects, although not strictly adhering to traditional OOP principles. Here, objects are collections of key-value pairs, where keys are strings and values can be various data types.
