• A class is a template from which objects may be created. – Can have any number of instances (objects). • An object contains state (data) and behavior (methods). • Methods of an object collectively characterize its behavior. – Methods can only be invoked by sending messages to an object. – Behavior is shared among objects.
OOP stands for Object-Oriented Programming. Procedural programming is about writing procedures or methods that perform operations on the data, while object-oriented programming is about creating objects that contain both data and methods.
Object-oriented programming is our introduction to data abstraction. We em-phasize the concepts of a data type (a set of values and a set of operations on them) and an object (an entity that holds a data-type value) and their implementation using Java’s class mechanism. We teach students how to use, create, and design data types.

Java is based on the concept of object-oriented programming. As the name suggests, at the center of it all is an object. Objects contain both data and the functionality that operates on that data. This is controlled by the following four paradigms •
you will walk through object-oriented programming by example; learning to use a simple object, examining the definition, extending the definition, and then designing your own object. Finally, you will explore the most important concepts in object-oriented programming: encapsulation, data hiding, messages, and inheritance.
An object is a bundle of state and behavior. State –the data contained in the object. In Java, these are the fields of the object. Behavior –the actions supported by the object. In Java, these are called methods. Method is just OO-speak for function. invoke a method = call a function. Classes. Every object has a class.
