The Interface Segregation Principle

The Interface Segregation Principle states that no code should be forced to depend on methods it doesn’t use. The idea is to keep interfaces lean and focused while preventing bloat or fat interfaces. Such small, focused interfaces are also known as role interfaces. Implementing fat interfaces can lead to unnecessary code in client classes.

Disadvantages of the Interface Segregation Principle

Although this principle has several benefits, it can also introduce multiple interfaces that increase overhead, making the code complex and difficult to organize and manage.
