Video Overview
This lecture introduces the core principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) through the lens of classes and objects. Using Python as a starting point, we explore the separation of public interfaces from private implementations and discuss how Python’s flexibility comes with limitations in enforcing abstraction, privacy, and consistent subtyping. The lecture then transitions to Java, showing how its stronger type declarations and static type checking address these limitations, offering a more robust foundation for building reliable software. By the end, learners will clearly see how classes and objects serve as the building blocks of modern programming.
