Large-Scale Simulations:?

Q: Large-Scale Simulations:?

Short answer: In simulations (e.g., a large number of agents in a traffic simulation or animals in an ecosystem), the Flyweight Pattern can be used to share common behaviors or attributes across many instances, reducing memory overhead. Improvement Suggestions: 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.
