Mid SOLID

Can you explain the difference between Abstract Factory and Builder patterns with examples?

  • Abstract Factory: Provides an interface for creating families of related objects

without specifying concrete classes.

Example: Creating UI components for different OS (Windows, Mac).

  • Builder: Focuses on step-by-step construction of a complex object, allowing different

representations.

Example: Building a complex House with various parts (walls, doors, roof).

Summary: Abstract Factory is about families of products, Builder is about complex

construction process.
