Does Dart support the object-oriented programming paradigm?

Yes, Dart fully supports object-oriented programming (OOP). In Dart, everything is an object, including numbers, functions, and even null. The language supports the main principles of OOP: inheritance, encapsulation, and polymorphism.

Example of a class in Dart:

class Animal {
  String name;

  Animal(this.name);

  void speak() {
    print('$name makes a sound');
  }
}

class Dog extends Animal {
  Dog(String name) : super(name);

  @override
  void speak() {
    print('$name says: Woof!');
  }
}

void main() {
  var dog = Dog('Bobby');
  dog.speak(); // Outputs: Bobby says: Woof!
}
