Design patterns are reusable solutions to common problems in software design.
Design patterns help in creating flexible, maintainable, and scalable software.
Examples of design patterns include Singleton, Factory, Observer, and Strategy.
They provide a common language for developers to communicate and understand each other's code.
Design patterns can be categorized into creational, structural, and behavioral patterns.
Solid principles are a set of design principles for writing clean, maintainable code.
Single Responsibility Principle - A class should have only one reason to change. Example: A class that handles user authentication should not also handle database operations.
Open/Closed Principle - Classes should be open for extension but closed for modification. Example: Using interfaces to allow for different implementations wit...
