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