Task Manager - Object-Oriented Programming Example in C#

This repository contains a simple console project that demonstrates the use of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts in C#.

The project simulates a Task Manager, where you can add tasks, list them, execute them, and manage their status (completed or pending).

---

📚 Project Description

The purpose of this project is to serve as a practical study of the fundamental principles of OOP, including:

• ✅ Encapsulation
• ✅ Inheritance
• ✅ Polymorphism
• ✅ Abstraction

The project applies these principles through task management, allowing you to create both simple tasks and tasks with deadlines.

---

🚀 Features

• ✔️ Add Simple Tasks
  Create basic tasks without deadlines.

• ✔️ Add Deadline Tasks
  Create tasks with a specified deadline.

• ✔️ List Tasks
  View tasks filtered by type (simple, deadline, or all).

• ✔️ Execute Tasks
  Simulate task execution and mark tasks as completed.

• ✔️ View Task Status
  Easily check whether tasks are pending or completed.

• ✔️ Interactive Console Menu
  The system runs in a loop with a simple menu to interact with tasks.
