Concrete Aggregate (ProductCollection):?

Short answer: The ProductCollection class is a concrete aggregate that implements the IAggregate<Product> interface. It maintains a list of Product objects and provides an Add() method to add products. It also implements CreateIterator() to return an instance of ProductIterator, enabling iteration over the collection. public class ProductCollection : IAggregate<Product>

Example code

{
private readonly List<Product> _products = new List<Product>();
public void Add(Product product) => _products.Add(product);
public int Count => _products.Count;
public Product this[int index] => _products[index];
public IIterator<Product> CreateIterator() => new ProductIterator(this); }

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.
