Object-Oriented Programming — definition?

Organizes software around objects with data and methods.

Objects — role?

Represent real-world entities with data and behavior.

Encapsulation — purpose?

Bundles data and methods, protecting internal state.

Inheritance — benefit?

Enables code reuse through class hierarchies.

Polymorphism — mechanism?

Methods behave differently based on object type.

Platform Independence — feature?

Code runs on any OS with JVM.

JDK — components?

Compiler, libraries, tools for Java development.

Programming Paradigms — examples?

Object-oriented and procedural programming.

Java — origin?

Developed as Oak in 1991 by Sun Microsystems.

Java — popularity reason?

Versatility, robustness, platform independence.

Java applications — types?

Core, applets, internet-based applications.

Encapsulation — key point?

Protects data, simplifies code management.

Inheritance — code reuse?

Subclass reuses base class code.

Polymorphism — example?

Method overloading and overriding.

Platform independence — how?

Via JVM executing bytecode.
