Real software sees entities (Customer, File etc) involved in multiple interactions. Simple OO examples model behavior in entity classes directly, but this becomes tangled as behaviors & interactions increase; and results in broken inheritance structures.
Instead of modelling these all in the entity, a more advanced OO approach considers separating behavior from the entity. We’ll consider key principles in this multi-part series.
