Methodswithout

Methodswithout is a programming concept that refers to a design pattern or approach where a class or object deliberately avoids implementing certain methods that are typically expected or required by its interface or framework. This can be done for various reasons, such as:

Optimization: In some cases, providing an implementation for all possible methods can introduce unnecessary complexity, overhead, or even performance degradation. By avoiding such methods, the class can be optimized for better performance or memory usage.

Good practices dictate that a class should not provide an implementation for methods it does not support. However, Methodswithout takes this idea a step further by designating a class as one that explicitly avoids certain methods.

There are different types of methods that can be omitted, such as:

* getter and setter methods: These are often used in property access, but excluding them can force users to use other interfaces or override certain methods to implement custom behavior.

* add and remove methods: In some collections or data structures, not implementing these methods can ensure consistency or improve performance by avoiding unnecessary checks.

* related methods: There may be methods that are not strictly necessary, but providing them can promote consistency or ease of use for the end-user.

The concept of Methodswithout highlights the importance of thoughtful class design and API drafting, encouraging developers to weigh the trade-offs between providing an implementation for all possible methods and achieving specific goals by omitting certain ones.
