Object-orientation in general

Object orientation is a paradigm or style of designing software, which models the solution into objects. Objects are constructs that include both data (called properties) and behaviour (called methods). For example, a dog object could have a hairColor and isTired properties as well as bark() and sleep() methods. By combining the data and behaviour into a single construct, it is possible for the behaviour of an object to modify the data of the object. Objects are often designed around real world objects.

VS Code settings for EDA computers

This setup uses a global eslint installation. VS Code will use a locally installed/project-based ESLint installation, but if it doesn't find one, it will use this global one.

The following steps are best to be applied in order.

	# Run `xrandr` to see a list of displays ports and make note of the one's that are "connected".
	# As an example, if `DP-1` is on the left, and `HDMI-2` is on the right,
