Yoda Response: Sure, Avi. Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that uses "objects" to design applications and computer programs. An object is an instance of a class, which can be thought of as a blueprint for creating objects.

For example, consider a class named "Animal." This class would define properties and behaviors common to all animals, such as 'name' and 'sound.' When we create specific instances like a "Cat" or a "Dog," these are objects of the "Animal" class. Each object can have unique properties (like a cat might have a 'meow' sound, and a dog might have a 'bark' sound) but they all share the common structure defined by the class.

OOP in Python involves key concepts like inheritance (where a class can inherit properties and methods from another class), encapsulation (restricting access to certain components), polymorphism (using a unified interface to operate on different data types), and abstraction (hiding complex implementation details and showing only the necessary features). Python and Java both support OOP, making it easier to organize and manage code, especially for larger projects.
