Answer from AI

A class violates the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) if it performs multiple different tasks or is responsible for different aspects of logic. Signs of violation:

  • The class contains methods related to different functional areas.
  • Changing one functionality requires modifying the class, which may affect other parts.
  • The class is difficult to test due to multiple unrelated responsibilities.

For example, if a class is responsible for both business process logic and database operations, this violates SRP. In such cases, it is advisable to split responsibilities into separate classes.
