A fundamental change in the way programs are viewed, from sequential manipulation of data to combining data and program elements into one structure called an object.

Encapsulation in object-oriented programming is the wrapping of data and the operations that can manipulate the data into a single unit, called a class.

Inheritance allows a class to derive properties and characteristics from another class, reducing the need to rewrite the properties and functions. This promotes code reusability and reduces redundancy.

Polymorphism refers to the ability of a message to be displayed in more than one form. It enables an object to exhibit different behaviors in different situations, providing flexibility in code design.

Dynamic binding refers to the decision of which code to execute in response to a function call being made at runtime. It allows the associated code to be determined dynamically, at the time of the call.
