Increased Number of Objects:?

• For each algorithm, you need a separate class. This could lead to an increase

in the number of classes in your application, which might not be desirable in

simpler systems.

Conclusion:

The Strategy Pattern is an excellent choice for applications that need to support multiple

interchangeable algorithms. By encapsulating algorithms in separate strategy classes and

delegating the task to the context, you avoid conditional statements and make your code

more flexible, maintainable, and extensible. It's especially useful in scenarios like sorting,

different payment methods, or compression algorithms where the behavior of the object

varies based on the strategy being used.

Template Method Pattern: Defining the Skeleton of an Algorithm

Definition:

The Template Method Pattern defines the skeleton of an algorithm in a method, deferring

some steps to subclasses. This pattern lets subclasses redefine certain steps of an

algorithm without changing the overall structure of the algorithm. Essentially, the Template

Method sets the "template" or the common sequence of steps, while allowing subclasses to

provide specific implementations for some of the steps.

Use Case:

A typical use case for the Template Method Pattern is creating a framework for a

cooking recipe where every recipe follows a similar structure (e.g., gather ingredients,

prepare, cook, and serve), but the actual details of each step can vary depending on the

type of recipe.
