Additional Notes
How do you identify awkward interaction patterns in object designs?
Track: Java
Topic: OOP
Focus: Object Interaction
Java: Object Interaction
Answer
Look for excessive direct access to another object's fields.
Awkward interaction patterns often occur when objects access each other's fields directly, bypassing encapsulation. For example, if a `ShoppingCart` directly modifies a `Product`'s stock level, it can lead to tight coupling and maintenance issues. Proper design encourages using methods to interact with object data.
