Clean Code: Objects and Data Structures

<h2>In the world of software development, writing clean and maintainable code is a paramount goal. The &ldquo;Clean Code: Objects and Data Structures&rdquo; chapter provides a set of foundational principles that can guide developers toward crafting code that is not only functional but also comprehensible and adaptable.</h2> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@pabashani.herath?source=post_page-----af9a62e62fcd--------------------------------" rel="noopener follow"><img alt="Pabashani Herath" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fill:48:48/1*xLWamPBkgBx6rfVy-hkGIA.png" style="height:44px; width:44px" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://blog.stackademic.com/?source=post_page-----af9a62e62fcd--------------------------------" rel="noopener ugc nofollow"><img alt="Stackademic" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fill:26:26/1*U-kjsW7IZUobnoy1gAp1UQ.png" style="height:24px; width:24px" /></a></p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@pabashani.herath?source=post_page-----af9a62e62fcd--------------------------------" rel="noopener follow">Pabashani Herath</a></p> <p>&middot;</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/m/signin?actionUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmedium.com%2F_%2Fsubscribe%2Fuser%2F8413b6d9d956&amp;operation=register&amp;redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.stackademic.com%2Fclean-code-objects-and-data-structures-af9a62e62fcd&amp;user=Pabashani+Herath&amp;userId=8413b6d9d956&amp;source=post_page-8413b6d9d956----af9a62e62fcd---------------------post_header-----------" rel="noopener follow">Follow</a></p> <p>Published in</p> <p><a href="https://blog.stackademic.com/?source=post_page-----af9a62e62fcd--------------------------------" rel="noopener ugc nofollow">Stackademic</a></p> <p>&middot;</p> <p>3 min read</p> <p>&middot;</p> <p>20 hours ago</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>50</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:630/0*bJESF580Gw6N9iy3.jpeg" style="height:517px; width:700px" /></p> <p>To understand the basics of programming, it is important to know the difference between a class and an object.</p> <h1>What is a class?</h1> <p>A class is a blueprint or a template for creating objects. It defines the properties (attributes/fields) and behaviours (methods/functions) that objects of that class will have. It encapsulates the data and operations related to a specific concept.</p> <h1>What is an object?</h1> <p>An object is an instance of a class. It represents a specific occurrence of the concept defined by the class. Objects hold data (attributes) and can perform actions (methods) defined in the class.</p> <h2>1. Hide Internal Structure:</h2> <p>This principle encourages&nbsp;encapsulation. The internal details of a class or object should be hidden from the outside world. Only the necessary and well-defined interfaces should be exposed, reducing dependencies and making it easier to modify the internals without affecting external code.</p> <p><a href="https://blog.stackademic.com/clean-code-objects-and-data-structures-af9a62e62fcd">Visit Now</a></p>
