An Introduction to Object-Oriented Design
Object-Oriented Design (OOD) is a fundamental approach in modern software development that structures a program as a collection of interacting "objects." Each object encapsulates data (attributes) and the behaviors (methods) that operate on that data, often mirroring real-world entities and their interactions. The core purpose of OOD is to manage complexity in software systems by promoting a modular, flexible, and maintainable architecture. This approach helps developers build software that is easier to understand, scale, and modify over time.
