Low-Level Design (LLD) focuses on designing system components at a detailed level, including classes, objects, relationships, and design patterns. It helps developers build scalable, maintainable, and efficient software systems.
- Helps in understanding how to structure code using OOP principles and design patterns.
- Improves problem-solving skills for real-world software development and interviews.
