OOP considers everything in the world as an object, which is an entity that holds its own properties (data) via variables and behaviors (functions) via methods.

A class is a blueprint/template used to hold objects along with their behavior and properties.
An object is an instance/occurrence of a class.
A class can have properties (e.g. make, color, year, speed limit) and behaviors (functions).
Objects inherit all properties and behaviors from the class, but each object will have different values for the properties.

A class is defined using the class keyword, followed by the name of the class and a pair of curly braces {}.
Class name should start with a letter, cannot be a PHP reserved word, and cannot contain spaces.
Properties and methods are defined inside the curly braces.

Properties are added to a class by placing variables inside it.
Methods are defined using the function keyword before the name of the function.
Properties and methods can have one of three visibility modifiers: public, private, and protected.
