What does the Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP) suggest?
What does the Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP) suggest?
- Rely on abstract interfaces rather than concrete components (correct)
- Use a single general purpose interface for all clients
- Create specialized interfaces for each major category of clients
- Depend on concrete components instead of abstractions

Why is it considered a violation of the Interface Segregation Principle (ISP) when Mustang must implement new operators meant for DeLorean?
- It enhances the cohesion between different classes
- It violates the concept of low coupling in software design
- It contradicts the idea of using client-specific interfaces (correct)
- It simplifies the programming process for developers

Study Notes
SOLID Principles
- Introduced in the early 2000s to achieve low coupling and high cohesion in software
- Makes software easy to maintain, extend, and robust
Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP)
- Do not depend on concrete components, instead depend on abstractions
- A component should not depend on other concrete components
- Violation: DeliveryCompany creating an instance of DeliveryDriver, making it dependent on a lower level concept
Interface Segregation Principle (ISP)
- Many client-specific interfaces are better than one general purpose interface
- Create a specialized interface to serve each major category of clients
- Violation: Adding new operators to a Car Interface, forcing Mustang to implement unnecessary operators
Component-Based Software Engineering
- Focuses on functions and data structures
- Design of processing logic governed by algorithm design and structured programming
- Design of data structures defined by the data model
- Design of interfaces governed by collaborations that a component must effect
Coupling vs Cohesion
- Cohesion: how closely a module's responsibilities are related
- Coupling: how much one module relies on another
- High cohesion and low coupling make a system more flexible and easier to maintain
Open-Closed Principle (OCP)
- A component should be open for extension but closed for modification
- Achieved by creating abstractions that serve as a buffer between functionality and design class
- Violation: Changing existing code in ShapePrinter class to manage a new shape
- Solution: Create an abstract class called Shape with an abstract operator that can be overridden for each new shape
Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP)
- Subclasses should be substitutable for their base classes
- A component using a base class should continue to function properly if a derived class is passed instead
- Violation: Creating a Square class that extends a Rectangle class, assuming a Square is a subclass of a Rectangle
