Hello dear friends. In this video, we will examine the Liskov Substitution Principle. So, let's begin. The Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) named for and originally defined by Barbara Liskov states that we should be able to treat a child class as though it were the parent class. Essentially, this means that all derived classes should retain the functionality of their parent class and cannot replace any functionality the parent provides. The LSP is very similar in principle to the OpenClosed principle. Now let's see with an example. As you see in this image, we have a base rectangle class and in the second image we try to extend square from the rectangle. 

Look, with super method we try to assign length to height or height to length. With this method, we can also extend triangle from rectangle. In that case, only we will set width to the triangle edge. Actually, we can make this but it does not comply with the Liskov Substitution Principle. Therefore, we need to make a new design in accordance with the Liskov Substitution Principle. First, we have to find an abstract class or interface a shape because square and rectangle are both shapes. Now we can create our rectangle from shape like this. As you can see, we have to override calculate area method and for square, we will add another class from shape like this, and we have to overwrite calculate for square again. Now this structure conforms to the Liskov principle. That's all I have to say about LSP. In the following video, we will look at the interface segregation principle. See you in the following video.
