Kodningsprinciper

Kodningsprinciper, often referred to as coding principles, are fundamental guidelines and best practices that software developers follow to write clean, efficient, maintainable, and understandable code. Adhering to these principles helps in building robust software systems that are easier to debug, extend, and collaborate on.

One prominent set of principles is SOLID, an acronym for five object-oriented design principles: Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, and Dependency Inversion. The Single Responsibility Principle suggests that a class should have only one reason to change. The Open/Closed Principle states that software entities should be open for extension but closed for modification. The Liskov Substitution Principle ensures that objects of a superclass should be replaceable with objects of its subclasses without altering the correctness of the program. The Interface Segregation Principle advocates for smaller, client-specific interfaces rather than large, general-purpose ones. Finally, the Dependency Inversion Principle promotes depending on abstractions rather than concretions.

Beyond SOLID, other important coding principles include DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself), which emphasizes avoiding redundancy in code, and KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid), which promotes simplicity in design and implementation. YAGNI (You Ain't Gonna Need It) is another principle that advises against adding functionality until it's actually required. Following these principles leads to code that is not only functional but also possesses qualities that contribute to its long-term success and the overall health of a software project.
