Day 83 of 100daysofcode : Interface Segregation Principle (ISP)
Imagine building a robot that can cook, clean, and paint. Instead of forcing every robot to carry all these features (even if they only need one), you design separate “toolkits” for cooking, cleaning, and painting. Each robot picks only the tools they need. No extra weight, no unused buttons, no confusion. That’s ISP!
Why It Reflects Positively on Your Project:
- No Bloat, Just Focus
By avoiding “one-size-fits-all” interfaces, your code stays lean. Components only depend on what they actually use, making your project easier to debug and extend. - Change Without Fear
Need to tweak the “cooking” logic? No risk of breaking the “painting” module! Changes stay isolated, reducing unintended side effects. - Teamwork-Friendly
Developers work on smaller, well-defined pieces without stepping on each other’s toes. Less merge conflict drama! - Future-Proof Design
Adding a new feature (like “baking”) doesn’t mean rewriting old code. Just plug in a new, specific interface.
ISP is like designing a LEGO set—small, specialized pieces snap together to build something amazing. When your project wraps up, you’ll appreciate how this principle kept your codebase clean, adaptable, and ready for whatever comes next.
