Answer from AI
SOLID principles are a set of five fundamental rules of object-oriented design aimed at creating flexible, extendable, and maintainable systems:
-
S (Single Responsibility Principle) — A class should have only one reason to change, meaning it should perform a single specific task.
-
O (Open/Closed Principle) — Software entities should be open for extension but closed for modification.
-
L (Liskov Substitution Principle) — Subtypes must be substitutable for their base types without altering the correctness of the program.
-
I (Interface Segregation Principle) — It's better to have several specific interfaces than a single general-purpose interface.
-
D (Dependency Inversion Principle) — High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules; both should depend on abstractions.
These principles help create code that is easier to test, extend, and maintain.
