Object-oriented design (OOD) is a software design approach that models systems as a collection of interacting objects, each encapsulating data and behavior relevant to a specific concept or entity. Software engineers use it to create modular, reusable, and maintainable code by applying principles such as encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. It typically follows object-oriented analysis and precedes implementation in languages like Java, C++, or Python.
