Object-oriented programming: History, Features & Design patterns

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on objects – software entities that encapsulate data and function(s).[clarification needed] An OOP computer program consists of objects that interact with one another. An OOP language is one that provides object-oriented programming features, but as the set of features that contribute to…
