Primes

• Interface
  • It separates two systems (implemented vs. consumer; transmitter vs. receiver; interior vs. exterior) and names the protocol governing interaction, the contractual logic Meyer (1992) articulated as "design by contract."

    This sourceArticulates the interface as a formal contract with preconditions, postconditions, and invariants; establishes contractual obligation as the central mechanism governing inter-module interaction.
