Core Principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

Encapsulation: Bundles data and methods together, controlling access with modifiers like public, private, and protected.
Inheritance: Creates new classes based on existing ones, promoting code reusability. Achieved using base and derived class keywords.
Polymorphism: Treats objects of different classes derived from the same base class as objects of that base class. Implemented through method overriding and interfaces.
Abstraction: Represents essential features of complex objects, simplifying development. Achieved with abstract classes and interfaces.

Classes and Objects

Class: A blueprint defining the structure and behavior of objects with properties and methods.
Object: An instance of a class, created using the new keyword.

Access Modifiers

Public: Access from anywhere.
Private: Access only within the class.
Protected: Access within the class and its derived classes.
Internal: Access within the same assembly.

Constructors and Destructors

Constructor: A special method used to initialize object fields when it is created.
Destructor: Used for cleanup when an object is no longer needed (less common in C# due to garbage collection).

Interfaces

Contracts that classes must adhere to, providing a blueprint.
Contain only method signatures, not implementations.
Support multiple inheritance.

Abstract Classes

Cannot be instantiated directly, only meant for subclassing.
Can contain abstract methods (without bodies) and concrete methods (with bodies).

Method Overriding and Overloading

Overriding: Redefining a base class method in a derived class using the override keyword.
Overloading: Creating multiple methods with the same name but different parameters in the same class.

Static Members

Declared with the static keyword, belonging to the class rather than an instance.
Useful for data or methods shared by all instances.

Value vs. Reference Types

Value Types: Store data directly (e.g., int, struct).
Reference Types: Store references to the actual data (e.g., object, class, string).

Common OOP Use Cases in C#

Creating complex data models.
Implementing design patterns for structure and organization.
Building maintainable and scalable applications.
