Classes and Interfaces are fundamental concepts in object-oriented programming (OOP), a programming paradigm that revolves around the creation of objects that contain both data and methods, thereby bundling data and the operations that can be performed on that data. Classes serve as blueprints or templates for creating objects, defining their attributes (data) and behaviors (methods), while interfaces provide a contract or specification that defines the methods that a class must implement. Interfaces play a crucial role in ensuring that classes adhere to a specific set of behaviors, enhancing code maintainability and flexibility.
