What does object oriented programming mean?

It takes a while to get acquainted with the vocabulary surrounding programming, but don’t let it overwhelm you! A lot of people have different perspectives and ways of explaining it.

We like the definition from TutorialsPoint: “An object-oriented program involves classes and objects. A class is the blueprint from which individual objects are created. In object-oriented terms, we say that your bicycle is an instance of the class of objects known as bicycles.”
