What is SOLID Principles?

Five design principles for writing maintainable, flexible object-oriented code: Single Responsibility, Open-Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, and Dependency Inversion.

S: Single Responsibility โ€” a class should have one reason to change. O: Open-Closed โ€” open for extension, closed for modification. L: Liskov Substitution โ€” subtypes must be substitutable for their base types. I: Interface Segregation โ€” prefer small, focused interfaces. D: Dependency Inversion โ€” depend on abstractions, not concretions.

SOLID principles reduce coupling, increase cohesion, and make code easier to test, maintain, and extend. They are the foundation of clean object-oriented design and are relevant across all OOP languages.
