Principle of Separation of Responsibility

There are several principles of Separation of Responsibility [1]:

  • Single Responsibility Principle (SRP). Different responsibilities should be divided among different objects, in another word, one object should have only one responsibility in ideal situation.
  • Encapsulation. One class should be responsible for knowing and maintaining a set of data, even if that data is used by many other classes. In another word, Data should be kept in only one place.
  • Expert pattern. The object that contains the necessary data to perform a task should be the object that manipulates the data.
  • The Dry principle. Code should not be duplicated. A given functionality should be implemented only in one place in the system.
