# Understanding Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in JavaScript

Object-Oriented Programming structures code around objects that bundle data and functions, making programs more organized and maintainable. JavaScript implements OOP through four core principles: encapsulation (bundling related elements while restricting access), abstraction (hiding complexity), inheritance (allowing classes to acquire properties from others), and polymorphism (same method behaving differently based on context). These principles enable developers to create reusable, modular code that mirrors real-world entities. OOP makes JavaScript more scalable for large applications while improving security and flexibility.
