Objects have properties (attributes) and behaviors (methods). In Carbon, OOP is a fundamental concept that allows you to create modular, reusable, and maintainable code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Classes and Objects<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>class<\/strong> is a blueprint for creating objects. It defines the properties and methods that objects of that class will have. An <strong>object<\/strong> is an instance of a class. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Code snippet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>class Person {\n  var name: string\n  var age: int\n\n  func greet() -&gt; string {\n    return \"Hello, my name is \\(name) and I am \\(age) years old.\"\n  }\n}\n\nvar person1: Person = Person(name: \"Alice\", age: 30)\nvar person2: Person = Person(name: \"Bob\", age: 25)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Encapsulation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Encapsulation is the bundling of data (properties) and methods (behaviors) into a single unit (object). It helps protect the internal state of an object and prevents unauthorized access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Inheritance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Inheritance is the ability of one class (derived class) to inherit properties and methods from another class (base class). This promotes code reuse and creates a hierarchical relationship between classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Code snippet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>class Animal {\n  var name: string\n\n  func makeSound() {\n    print(\"Generic animal sound\")\n  }\n}\n\nclass Dog: Animal {\n  func bark() {\n    print(\"Woof!\")\n  }\n}\n\nvar dog: Dog = Dog(name: \"Buddy\")\ndog.makeSound() \/\/ Output: \"Woof!\"\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Polymorphism<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Polymorphism allows objects of different classes to be treated as if they were of the same type. It enables you to write more flexible and reusable code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Code snippet<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>func printAnimalSound(animal: Animal) {\n  animal.makeSound()\n}\n\nvar dog: Dog = Dog(name: \"Buddy\")\nvar cat: Cat = Cat(name: \"Whiskers\")\n\nprintAnimalSound(dog)\nprintAnimalSound(cat)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>OOP in Carbon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Carbon provides a robust set of features for object-oriented programming, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Classes and objects<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Encapsulation<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inheritance<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Polymorphism<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Interfaces<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Generics<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By understanding and applying OOP principles in Carbon, you can create well-structured, modular, and maintainable code.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that models real-world entities as objects.
