The following diagram shows the Unified Modeling Language (UML) for a Car class model, which has been designed with SOC in mind. Responsibilities such as engine, dashboard, and the digital readout display have been separated. This is a pure Apex code example to illustrate how dependencies between classes can be managed with Dependency Injection (DI):
