26 26  |Dependency Cycle|(% style="text-align:justify" %)For example, an instance of one class requires an instance of another class to be constructed, and vice versa. So both classes need the other dependency to construct an instance. Therefore, it is impossible to construct either instance at all. Always make sure that the dependency graph looks like a directed acyclic graph.

29 -~1. Messy, unreadable, or poorly designed code is referred to as "dirty code". Often associated with code written "quick-and-dirty" due to the time constraints of a software project.2. The term comes from the phrase "getting one's hands dirty" and refers to coding work that is considered monotonous, detailed, low-level, or undemanding, but necessary. The term is often used in the context of I/O operations. For example, creating a database transaction, is often done in a similar way and is not considered fun by experienced programmers who have done it many times. High-level design is more exciting because it requires more creativity from the developer and is more intellectually stimulating.
