Develop Object-Oriented Programs applying class concepts.
Implement header files effectively when using classes.

Classes and Objects

A class can be thought of as a blueprint for creating objects; for example, class House.
Attributes of a class, such as length, width, height, and area, are defined as private variables.
Public methods, like void paint(), allow interaction with object attributes.

Object Creation

Objects are instances of classes, created using the class constructor.
Multiple objects can be declared within the same program, e.g., House myHouse1; and House myHouse2;.

Object Interaction

Objects can invoke methods to modify their attributes or perform actions, e.g., calling myHouse1.paint(green); to paint the house.
Each object maintains its own copy of class attributes and methods, allowing them to operate independently.

Code Structure

The main() function is typically where objects are instantiated and methods are called.
Setters and getters can be used to enforce encapsulation, providing controlled access to private variables.
