As a rule of thumb, once your list of methods no longer fits on the screen, it's too much! The whole concepts of OO, code reusability and separation of concerns break down if you can no longer easily memorize the functionality of a class. Or to put it differently: if your class has that many methods, it's design is probably bad, and it should be refactored.

Though there might be no technical limit, there is some kind of limit set by Good Coding/Design Practises (but no exact number can be given).
What is a class about? Hint: E.g. "Separation of concerns".
When a class has many methods, it cares for too many different things. And thus it is wrongly designed.

Good advice. Classes with lots of method usually hint at a design flaw.

Solution 5

A class can contain n no. of methods . There is no limit for defining methods inside a class . And its the rule of Encapsulation and data abstraction .

Solution 1

1.As I know there is no limit.

2.Even is supposing there is a limit to Max Int32 ==> a huge number of methods.

Hithere is no limit
for example for artificial intelligence with C# they write more than 100 class

"More than 100" isnt really a big number and cannot prove that there is "no limit".
