The OCP states that "classes should be open for extension but closed for modification," encouraging scalable and maintainable code. 🤔 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀? 🤔 • 𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯: You should be able to add new functionality to the system. • 𝘊𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯: You should not modify existing code to add that new functionality. 💡 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁? 💡 1.

💫 The SOLID principles are key to writing flexible and maintainable code. Here's a quick overview: 🌀 S - Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) A class should have only one reason to change. ✅ Achieve SRP: Separate classes for different responsibilities (e.g., order management vs. inventory). ❌ Violation: A class that handles both user authentication and data processing. 🌀 O - Open/Closed Principle (OCP) Code should be open for extension but closed for modification. ✅ Achieve OCP: Use interfaces or inheritance to add new functionality without altering existing code. ❌ Violation: Modifying a class directly to add new features instead of extending it. 🌀 L - Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) Subclasses should be replaceable for their parent class without affecting behavior. ✅ Achieve LSP: Ensure consistent method implementations across subclasses. ❌ Violation: A subclass that throws exceptions for valid inputs accepted by the parent class. 🌀 I - Interface Segregation Principle (ISP) Clients should not be forced to depend on interfaces they do not use. ✅ Achieve ISP: Split large interfaces into smaller, specific ones. ❌ Violation: A single interface that requires clients to implement methods they don’t need. 🌀 D - Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP) High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules. ✅ Achieve DIP: Depend on abstractions (interfaces) rather than concrete classes. ❌ Violation: A high-level class directly instantiating low-level classes instead of using interfaces. 🌟 Applying SOLID principles leads to robust and maintainable software.

🔹 Day 5 of 10: Open/Closed Principle (OCP) “Software should be open for extension but closed for modification.” The Open/Closed Principle encourages developers to design systems that can adapt to new requirements without altering existing code. This minimizes the risk of introducing bugs and makes codebases more stable and scalable. How to apply OCP: • Use abstractions (interfaces, abstract classes) to define behavior. • Add new functionality through extensions rather than modifying the core. • Leverage patterns like Strategy, Decorator, or Plugins. 🔑 Tip for today: Next time you add a feature, check if it can be done through extension instead of modifying existing code. What design pattern do you use most often to stay true to OCP? Let’s chat below! Stay tuned for Day 6 tomorrow: Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP). #SoftwareEngineering #CleanCode #OpenClosedPrinciple #CodingBestPractices #DevLife #SoftwareDesign #EngineeringPrinciples #ProgrammingTips #CodeQuality #TechGrowth

Read a blog post about the Single Responsibility Principle earlier today. The author pointed out that it means a function should do one thing. While there’s a principle like that, it applies at the lower-level (when refactoring large functions into smaller ones). The SRP talks about code at the module level. The SRP stipulates that a module should only have one reason to change, and one reason only. The “reason to change” refers to users or stake holders. A direct violation of this rule is putting code that are responsible to different “actors”, in one class. By “actors,” I’m referring to users or stakeholders.

SOLIDify Your Code with 5 Principles Anyone can write bad code but, better software design needs better ethics. As developers strive for clean, maintainable, and scalable code. That's where SOLID principles shine. ✅ S - Single Responsibility Principle (SRP): One class, one job. ✅ O - Open/Closed Principle (OCP): Extend, don't modify. ✅ L - Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP): Inheritance done right. ✅ I - Interface Segregation Principle (ISP): Client-specific interfaces. ✅ D - Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP): Decouple, don't hard-code. By applying SOLID principles, you can: 🚀 Improve code readability 🚀 Reduce bugs and technical debt 🚀 Enhance maintainability 🚀 Boost scalability For example: 🟢 SRP: Separate authentication and authorization logic. 🟢 OCP: Use plugins and modules for extensibility. 🟢 LSP: Ensure subclasses honor parent class contracts. 🟢 ISP: Segment interfaces for client-specific needs. 🟢 DIP: Use dependency injection for flexibility.

Coding standards 🔸Consistency 🔸Readability 🔸Maintainability 🔸Team collaboration SOLID Principle 🔸S = SRP = Single Responsibility Principle 🔸O = OCP = Open closed principle 🔸L = LSP = Liskov Substitution Principle 🔸I = ISP = interface Segregation Principle 🔸D = DIP = Dependency inversion principle Definition of Each SOLID principles 🔸SRP = Each class or module should have a single responsibility 🔸OCP = open for extension but closed for modification. 🔸LSP = you should use any derived class instead of base class without modification. 🔸ISP = client should be forced to depend on interfaces, they do not use. 🔸DIP = high level module should not depend on low level module, both should depend on abstraction

Understanding the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) The Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) is a cornerstone of clean code and effective software design. It states that a class should have only one reason to change, meaning it should have only one job or responsibility. Why SRP Matters: Improved Maintainability: By adhering to SRP, your code becomes easier to understand and maintain. Changes in one part of your application won't cascade into unexpected areas. Enhanced Reusability: Classes with a single responsibility are more likely to be reused across different parts of your application or even in different projects. Simplified Testing: Unit testing becomes more straightforward when classes have a single responsibility, leading to more reliable and bug-free code. Implementing SRP: Identify Responsibilities: Break down your classes by identifying distinct responsibilities or reasons for change. Refactor: If a class has more than one responsibility, refactor it into multiple classes, each handling a single concern. Review Regularly: Regularly review your code to ensure that classes remain focused and aligned with SRP. // Before SRP public class Invoice { public void calculateTotal() { // code to calculate total } public void printInvoice() { // code to print invoice } public void saveToDatabase() { // code to save invoice to database } } By embracing SRP, we can create more robust, maintainable, and scalable software.
