Classes have 2 main concepts: attributes and methods. Attributes are needed to store various data in the instance of Class and methods are functions, which can use Class attributes for various manipulations. To understand OOP and its difference from functional programming visit [this website](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/object-oriented-programming-concepts-21bb035f7260/). +Dart supports object oriented programming, and it features heavily in Flutter.
