What are the pillars of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), and can you explain them with a real-life example?

Question

Accepted Answer

OOP is based on four main principles: Encapsulation, Abstraction, Inheritance, and Polymorphism, each with real-life analogies.

Encapsulation: A car's engine is hidden from the driver; they only interact with the steering wheel and pedals.
Abstraction: A TV remote allows users to control the TV without needing to understand its internal workings.
Inheritance: A child inherits traits from their parents, like eye color or height, similar to classes inheriting properties in OOP.
Polymorphism: A person can be a teacher, a parent, or a friend, demonstrating different behaviors in different contexts.
