Modular design and separation of concerns
- [Instructor] In this video, we will delve into modular design and separation of concerns in C++. Let's start with a simple question. What makes code good? Sure, it needs to work correctly, but that's just the beginning. Good code should also be easy to understand, modify, and maintain. This is where modular design comes in. Modular design is about splitting your software into distinct parts or modules, so each module addresses a single, well-defined part of the overall functionality. Each module is self-contained, has a specific purpose, and can connect with other modules in predictable ways. In C++, our modules are classes and functions, each responsible for one specific aspect of the program. This brings us to the separation of concerns. The idea is simple. Each part of your program should deal with one specific concern and do it well. Imagine we're writing a program that reads data from a file, processes it, and saves the results to a database.
