SOLID principles are object-oriented design concepts that are relevant to software development in Java. SOLID is an acronym for five other class-design principles: Single Responsibility Principle, Open-Closed Principle, Liskov Substitution Principle, Interface Segregation Principle, and Dependency Inversion Principle. These principles provide a valuable standard for guiding developers towards building applications that provide lasting value for customers and sanity for future developers working on the project.
Here is a brief description of each principle:
-
Single Responsibility Principle (SRP): Each class should have only one responsibility or functionality. This principle ensures that every class in Java performs a single functionality, and there should only be one reason to change a class.
-
Open-Closed Principle (OCP): Software components should be open for extension, but not for modification. This principle ensures that the behavior of a superclass and its subtypes is preserved unless there is a strong reason to do otherwise.
-
Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP): Objects of a superclass should be replaceable with objects of its subclasses without breaking the system. This principle ensures that the subtypes of a class can be used in place of the parent class without affecting the correctness of the program.
-
Interface Segregation Principle (ISP): No client should be forced to depend on methods that it does not use. This principle ensures that larger interfaces should be split into smaller ones, and clients should only depend on the methods they need.
-
Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP): High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules, both should depend on abstractions. This principle ensures that the code is loosely coupled, and high-level modules do not depend on low-level modules.
Following SOLID principles helps in writing modular,...
