Python has been an object-oriented language since its inception. Object-oriented programming (OOPs) is a type of programming that emphasizes the use of classes and objects. Its goal is to use programming to develop real-world concepts such as inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation. The basic idea behind OOPs is to combine data and the functions that interact with it into a single entity that is not touched by any other parts of the code. It also emphasizes writing reusable code. It is a common way to solve a problem by generating objects.
 
The following are the key concepts of Oops:
 
  • Objects
  • Classes
  • Inheritance
  • Polymorphisms
