ELI5: object oriented progamming

// explanation

// eli5Imagine you have toy action figures. Each toy is like an 'object' - it has its own clothes, accessories, and things it can do (like move its arms).

Object-oriented programming works the same way - you create digital 'objects' that each do their own job without needing to know about other objects' inner secrets [1][2].
