1. Usage Proxy pattern in general is Wrapper. Sometimes its hard/impossible to modify real object. For client using Proxy object should be same like using real object as they share same interface. Consider following usage scenarios: Remote Proxy – in distributed communication we create local proxy object which hide all communication with remote object Virtual […]
1. Usage Converts interface of one class which required into another interface which can be called. This pattern also knows as Wrapper. Can be useful with Legacy classes which cannot be changed. It can be implemented 2 ways: Class Adapter: Adapter sub-class required class and at same time implement interface client want to use. Such […]
1. Overloading with free function. Function not part of Class. Basic class accessed by Reference not to make Copy and as Const as we not gonna change it. Only public members of class accessable 2. Overloading with member function. Function is part of Class. Basic class accessed by Reference not to make Copy and as […]
1. Usage Class which has Single Instance and Global access hrough all application. 2. UML class diagram 3. Pros Controlled access to single object. 4. Cons Can be harmful in big complex system which need to be scaled. Can complicate TDD based programming. 5. Source code
1. Usage Pool of prototypical instances copying them-self to create new copy of objects. Reason can be expensive usage of new() command. Also such approach hide complexity. 2. UML class diagram 3. Pros Adding and removing products at run-time. Specifying new objects by varying values. Specifying new objects by varying structure. Reduced sub-classing. Configuring an […]
1. Usage To implement reusable mechanize of polymorphic pipeline to generate step by step final complex product. For example function “save as” document – as HTML, RTF, PDF. each plugin for different format will have its own way to serialize – table, image or title objects. 2. UML class diagram Source: https://sourcemaking.com/design_patterns/builder 3. Pros 4. […]
1. Usage When required to create family of related objects, and they should be easily changed to another family of related objects at run-time we use Abstract Factory; 2. UML class diagram 3. Pros – related objects grouped together; – easy switch at runtime between families of objects; – making uniform way of working with […]
1. Usage “Define an interface for creating an object, but let subclasses decide which class to instantiate. The Factory method lets a class defer instantiation it uses to subclasses.”(Gang Of Four) 2. UML class diagram 3. Pros – client can create objects without specifying subclass types. 4. Cons – hard to refactor existing code. – […]
Recently I was visiting one company and got C++ interview question: What is double dispatch. I studied C++ quite long time ago and that question confused me. Single Dispatch is calling virtual method based on V-Table (run-time) but double dispatch? After interview I always review subjects which made me hard time. Thats only reason for going to […]
