Definition
Objects are instances of a class that represent real-world entities or concepts. They encapsulate data (attributes) and behavior (methods) into a single entity.
Classes are user-defined data types in object-oriented programming. They serve as blueprints for creating objects by defining their attributes and methods.
Attributes: Attributes are variables within an object that store data specific to that object.
