Concrete Factories (Windows & Mac):?

Short answer: The WindowsUIFactory and MacUIFactory are concrete implementations of the IUIFactory interface. Each factory creates platform-specific objects like buttons and checkboxes. public class WindowsUIFactory : IUIFactory

Example code

{
public IButton CreateButton() => new WindowsButton();
public ICheckbox CreateCheckbox() => new WindowsCheckbox();
}
public class MacUIFactory : IUIFactory
{
public IButton CreateButton() => new MacButton();
public ICheckbox CreateCheckbox() => new MacCheckbox();
}

Real-world example (ShopNest)

Use a GoF pattern in ShopNest only when it removes duplication or makes a change safer—explain the problem it solves in the interview.

Say this in the interview

  1. Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
  2. Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
  3. Trade-off — when you would not use it.
