Summary
In this chapter, we covered the SOLID principles, the KISS principle, constness, and immutability. Let’s see what you learned!
- SOLID principles: SOLID is a set of five principles that help us create code that’s easy to maintain, scalable, and flexible. By understanding these principles, you’re on your way to designing code that’s a dream to work with!
- The KISS principle: The KISS principle is all about keeping things simple. By following this principle, you’ll avoid overcomplicating your code, making it easier to maintain and debug.
- Constness: Constness is a property in C++ that makes objects read-only. By declaring objects as
const, you can ensure that their values won’t be accidentally changed, making your code more stable and predictable. - Immutability: Immutability is all about making sure objects can’t be changed after their creation. By making objects immutable, you can avoid sneaky bugs and make your code more predictable.
With these design principles under your belt, you’re on your way to writing code that’s both robust and reliable. Happy coding!
In the next chapter, we will try to understand what causes bad code.
