Chapter 5: Object-Oriented Programming in C#
In the previous chapter, we covered user-defined types and learned about classes, structures, and enumerations. In this chapter, we will learn about object-oriented programming (or OOP for short). A good understanding of OOP concepts is essential to write better programs using C#. OOP reduces code complexity, increases code reusability, and makes software easy to maintain and scale.
We will cover the following concepts in detail:
- Understanding OOP
- Abstraction
- Encapsulation
- Inheritance
- Polymorphism
- SOLID principles
By the end of this chapter, you will learn how to create classes and methods using OOP. Let's begin with an overview of OOP.
