Computer programming is all about declaring abstractions that make computers easier to control. Objects are an intuitive way to model your program by defining logical subsets of data and operations on that data. Classes are define common, readable patterns in the data - a person class can have age, name, height and weight and methods to manipulate these. At runtime, only the values of data are replicated with pointers to single copies of methods. OOP is just another way to organize your code. Inheritance of classes gives a higher level of abstraction, allowing you to reduce the code footprint of your application and make it more maintainable.
