👉 Object-oriented engineering (OOe) is a software development methodology that focuses on designing and building software systems using objects, which are fundamental units of both data and behavior. This approach emphasizes encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism to create modular, reusable, and maintainable code. By modeling real-world entities as objects with attributes (data) and methods (functions), OOE aims to simplify complex systems, enhance code organization, and improve software quality. It bridges the gap between traditional procedural programming and modern object-oriented programming paradigms, making it particularly effective for large-scale applications where system complexity and maintainability are critical concerns.
