Short answer: The template method ensures that the overall process (e.g., cooking) is always followed in the same sequence, regardless of the specific recipe. This prevents inconsistent workflows in different implementations. When to Use the Template Method Pattern: 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.
