Who Is Loosely Coupled?

Loose coupling is an approach to interconnecting the components in a system or network so that those components, also called elements, depend on each other to the least extent practicable. Coupling refers to the degree of direct knowledge that one element has of another.

Why do I have loosely coupled?

Implementing a loosely coupled system helps to reduce the risk that's often inherent in systems or networks that depend on multiple components. Because the components, or elements, of a system or network are not dependent on one another, a domino effect won't occur if one of them experiences problems .

What is tightly coupled and loosely coupled?

Tight coupling means classes and objects are dependent on one another. In general, tight coupling is usually not good because it reduces the flexibility and re-usability of the code while Loose coupling means reducing the dependencies of a class that uses the different class directly.
