Question

Pankajkumar Patel · Answer

Hi Naresh Beniwal, Open Closed Principle (OCP) states that a class must be open to be extended but closed to changes. Example in C# is as following: BankAccount BankAccountBase SavingsAccount LongTermSavingsAccount BankAccount // Not following the Open Closed Principle public enum AccountType { SavingsAccount = 1, LongTermSavingsAccount = 2 } public class BankAcount { public string AccountNumber { get; set; } public string AccountTitle { get; set; } public AccountType BankAccountType { get; set; } public float CalculateInterest(float accountBalance) { // Add an IF statement for each type of new bank account -- violates OCP if (BankAccountType == AccountType.SavingsAccount) return accountBalance * 0.02F; if (BankAccountType == AccountType.LongTermSavingsAccount) return accountBalance * 0.04F; else return accountBalance; } } BankAccountBase // Following the Open Closed Principle public interface IBankAccount { float CalculateInterest(float accountBalance); } public abstract class BankAccountBase { public string AccountNumber { get; set; } public string AccountTitle { get; set; } public AccountType BankAccountType { get; set; } } SavingsAccount public class SavingsAccount : BankAccountBase, IBankAccount { public float CalculateInterest(float accountBalance) { return accountBalance * 0.02F; } } LongTermSavingsAccount public class LongTermSavingsAccount : BankAccountBase, IBankAccount { public float CalculateInterest(float accountBalance) { return accountBalance * 0.04F; } } How to use var bankAccount = new BankAcount() { AccountNumber = "100AAA", AccountTitle = "Mr. John Doe", BankAccountType = AccountType.SavingsAccount }; Console.WriteLine($"The Interest amount for {bankAccount.AccountTitle} is ${bankAccount.CalculateInterest(1000)}"); //Calling class following Open Closed Principle var savingsBankAccount = new SavingsAccount() { AccountNumber = "100AAA", AccountTitle = "Mr. John Doe", BankAccountType = AccountType.SavingsAccount }; Console.WriteLine($"The Interest amount for {savingsBankAccount.AccountTitle} is ${savingsBankAccount.CalculateInterest(1000)}"); Hope, this will help you!

The Open Close principle is one that is used to open extend and close for any changes. For eg., RBI has a set of norms and would like to extend the logic in SBI business cases. So we are extending the RBI library and changing in our SBI Library, In this approach we are not modifying anything on Main placeholder however we are molding it in on required place on demand basis.
