This document provides an overview of object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts:
1. OOP models real world objects like data and behaviors through classes and objects. Classes define common attributes and behaviors while objects are instances of classes.
2. Core OOP concepts include encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. Encapsulation bundles data and functions into objects. Inheritance establishes a hierarchical relationship between classes. Polymorphism allows the same message to be interpreted differently by different objects.
3. Key benefits of OOP include code reusability, abstraction, and easier management of complex programs through separation of concerns into individual objects that interact by passing messages.
