In object-oriented programming, a developer wants to model a real-world entity by creating a self-contained unit. This unit needs to bundle together related data, known as properties, and the functions, known as methods, that operate on that data. Which programming concept best describes this self-contained unit?
In programming, an 'Object' refers to a self-contained unit that encapsulates data and the procedures known as methods that operate on that data. This encapsulation allows objects to model real-world entities by combining data (properties/attributes) with functionality. An 'Array' is a collection of similar data types but does not inherently encapsulate methods. A 'Class' is a blueprint that defines an object's data and methods, but it is the template, not the instance itself. A 'Variable' is a storage location that holds a single piece of data.
