is OOP used to solve problems

I am quite new to Object oriented programming. My question is, is the purpose of OOP only to write understandable codes, or does it open new ways and approaches of solving a problem?
Yes.

Google & wiki are your best friends, unless of course you live somewhere where you don't have access to these (Like Iran & Nth Korea)

Hope all goes well - don't be afraid to post questions about your code here - plenty of people who can help.
Ok it makes a lot of sense too. Thanks :)
