🌟 OOP Concepts
- Encapsulation: Keeping data and code together in one place.
- Inheritance: One class (child) can use code from another (parent).
- Polymorphism: One interface, many implementations.
📝 Why use OOP?
- Organizes code around real things.
- Makes code more reusable and easier to maintain.
