stamp coupling

subject fact

stamp coupling can be reduced by requiring that all variables of the shared class only be accessible via methods 2001-08-30 14:57:46.0
has definition A form of coupling in which two components modify or access data in the same object
has disadvantage if the shared class changes, then all the classes that access its variables will likely have to change
is a subtopic of 9.2 - Principles Leading to Good Design 2001-08-30 14:57:46.0
is a kind of coupling

coupling implies that if you want to reuse one component, you will also have to import all the ones with which it is coupled 2001-08-30 14:55:07.0
