This repository is a collection of coursework and assignments from an Object-Oriented Programming class taken at PUC-Campinas, a university in Brazil, back in 2016. The title "POO" is the Portuguese acronym for "Programação Orientada a Objetos," which translates to Object-Oriented Programming. The project is essentially a digital archive of a student's university work. Object-oriented programming is a popular approach to writing software. Instead of treating a program as a sequence of steps, this method organizes code around "objects", digital bundles of data and the actions that can be performed on that data. For example, an object might represent a bank account, holding the current balance as its data and allowing actions like deposit or withdrawal. This repository holds the practical exercises a student completed to learn that style of thinking, written in Java, a language commonly used to teach these concepts. The audience for this repository is narrow. It is primarily a personal record for the student who wrote it, though it could serve as a reference point for other students currently taking a similar introductory course. Someone learning object-oriented principles might browse the code to see simple, practical examples of how academic assignments are structured. It is not a tool or application meant to be downloaded and used. The README does not go into detail about the specific assignments or what each file covers. Beyond knowing the code is written in Java and relates to coursework from 2016, a visitor would need to explore the files directly to understand the full scope of the topics practiced.
