Object-oriented programming is a style of coding that allows developers to group similar tasks into classes. This helps keep code following the tenet "don't repeat yourself" (DRY) and easy-to-maintain. A class is like a blueprint for a house, with relationships between the different parts of the house clearly defined and planned.
