Liskov and type safety

Read Original

This technical article delves into the Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP), a core concept in object-oriented design. Using pseudo-code examples with types like Organism, Animal, and Cat, it explains how LSP ensures that subtypes can be substituted for their parent types without altering program correctness. The article clarifies common misunderstandings about inheritance and discusses the benefits of adhering to LSP for building robust, type-safe software systems.
