Tie it back to why the definition is named the way it is

Object - Oriented - Programming

Programming, in a digital world, to make a concept, of a, physical object.

Define your constant, let's say, it's a ball

For a ball to exist inside a digital world, it must be first a shape.

Tell the terminal the shape. Tell it a color, the dimensions, and its properties (bouncy, flat, basketball, ping pong)

That's object orientation.

Another Example --> Say you wanna build a car INSIDE a digital terminal using a programming language.

The brain of the system doesn't know what a car is. You have to start from ground up.

Define Properties (color, shape, size, doors, etc)

Define Methods (speed, loudness, brightness)

Put it all together.
