The Open Closed Principle

In this post, I continue to share what I have learned about the SOLID principles in the book “Clean Architecture A Craftsman’s Guide to Software Structure and Design”. As a recap, six principles make up the SOLID acronym:

• The Single Responsibility Principle.
• The Open Closed Principle.
• The Liskov Substitution Principle.
• The Interface Segregation Principle.
• The Dependency Inversion Principle.

In the previous post, I wrote about the Single Responsibility Principle. In this post, I write about the Open Closed Principle.

The Single Responsibility Principle

Recently, I read the book “Clean Architecture” by Robert C. Martin. Overall, this is a great book with a wealth of information on software design principles to guide developers to build scalable, maintainable and flexible applications. A core part of the book discusses about six design principles which together make up the acronym SOLID.
