Bot GPT 3.5 Class: A class is a blueprint for creating objects which defines the attributes and behaviors that objects created from the class will have.
Object: An object is an instance of a class, representing a specific entity with its attributes and behaviors defined by the class.
Property: A property is a characteristic or attribute of an object, such as its name, age, color, etc.
Method: A method is a function or procedure defined in a class that can be called to perform a specific task or operation on an object.
Constructor: A constructor is a special type of method that is used to initialize an object when it is created.
Inheritance: Inheritance is a mechanism in object-oriented programming that allows a class to inherit properties and behaviors from another class, promoting code reusability and reducing duplication.
Encapsulation: Encapsulation is the concept of bundling the data (properties) and methods (functions) that operate on the data within a single unit (class), preventing direct access to the data from outside the unit.
Abstraction: Abstraction is the process of hiding the complex implementation details and displaying only the necessary information to the users. It allows for defining abstract classes with abstract methods that must be implemented by concrete subclasses.
Polymorphism: Polymorphism is the ability of different objects to respond to the same message (method call) in different ways, allowing objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass.
