Learning Open-Closed Principle

Introduction to the Open-Closed Principle

The Open-Closed Principle states that software entities — including classes, modules, and functions — should be open for extension but closed for modification. That is, one should be able to extend the behavior of the entities without modifying the existing working code.

Advantages of the Open-Closed Principle

This principle enables the reuse of legacy code, libraries, and other closed or protected source codes. It allows for the extension of functionality without altering the existing code. This ensures that the tested code will continue to work as expected even after updating it.

Exploring an Example Use Case

At a restaurant, the chef follows a strict process to prepare pizza. However, the chef can also add toppings and other customizations that suit the customer’s preference. In open-closed principle terms, you’d say the menu is closed for modification but open for extension.
