Liskov can bite me (Score:2)
It's important for academics who are more concerned with being correct than useful.
Override nothing! Delegate everything!
Ok, maybe I'm a wee bit bitter after losing a debate about Pathnames, Strings and subclassing.
Re:Liskov can bite me (Score:2)
I think you must be thinking about something else. Liskov doesn't say anything about not being able to override anything. It merely states that a subclass must be substitutable for the parent class without affecting the correctness of a program. You can override all you want, just make sure that the interface doesn't change.
