Principles of writing clean code

In the world of object-oriented programming (OOP), clean code thrives on a foundation of five key principles known as SOLID. These principles act as guiding lights, helping us write code that’s not just functional but also the following:

• Easy to read and understand: Anyone who picks up your code should be able to grasp its purpose and logic without too much effort
• Maintainable: Modifications and updates should be a breeze, even for someone unfamiliar with the code’s history
• Extendable and reusable: Building on existing code should be straightforward, promoting code reuse and reducing redundancy

Let me tell you a story. Before I discovered SOLID principles, I often found myself struggling to figure out how to build features. Reaching the finish line felt like a messy, chaotic journey. Then, SOLID came along and changed everything. It was like a map, helping me organize my thoughts and code into a clear, structured...
