Interface Principle roughly states that a free non-member function is closely tied to a class, therefore, part of the class interface if
- it mentions the class type, for ex: it accepts the class in it’s parameter list
- It’s shipped along with the class, i.e., it is in the same namespace and the header file as the class definition
Keonig’s Lookup is closely related to this principle.
