In object-oriented (OO) and functional programming, an immutable object (unchangeable object) is an object whose state cannot be modified after it is...

A properly written constructor leaves the resulting object in a valid state. Immutable objects must be initialized in a constructor. Most languages allow...

In object-oriented programming, "immutable interface" is a pattern for designing an immutable object. The immutable interface pattern involves defining...
