SEforSDL - Principles: Interface Segregation Principle

Interface Segregation Principle (ISP): No client should be forced to depend on methods it does not use.

Example:

The Payroll class should not depend on the AdminStaff class because it does not use the arrangeMeeting() method. Instead, it should depend on the SalariedStaff interface.

public class Payroll {
    //...    
    private void adjustSalaries(AdminStaff adminStaff){ //violates ISP
        //...
    }

}

public class Payroll {
    //...    
    private void adjustSalaries(SalariedStaff staff){ //does not violate ISP
        //...
    }
}
