Behaviors
Definition
Behaviors in programming refer to the actions or operations performed by an object or entity within a computer program.
Analogy
Imagine behaviors as different dance moves. Each move represents a specific action that an object can perform. Just like how dancers have their own unique set of moves, objects in programming have their own set of behaviors.
