2. Class as a User Defined Type
Classes serve as blueprints for creating objects in programming, encapsulating data and behavior. They consist of attributes and methods, allowing for better data management and code reusability. The concept of classes enables developers to model real-world entities, thereby improving program design and implementation.

What we have learnt
- A class is a blueprint for creating objects, defining properties and behaviors.
- Classes consist of data members (attributes) and member functions (methods).
- Objects are instances of classes, each with its own copy of data members.
Key Concepts
- -- Class
- A blueprint or template for creating objects, defining properties (attributes) and behaviors (methods).
- -- Object
- An instance of a class containing its own unique data members while sharing the class structure.
- -- Encapsulation
- The bundling of data and functions that operate on that data into a single unit, or class.
- -- Code Reusability
- The ability to create multiple objects from the same class, facilitating efficient programming.
- -- Realworld Modeling
- Using classes to closely represent real-world entities and problems in programming.
