History of Design PatternHistory of Design Pattern
•In 1994, Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-
Oriented Software by Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph
Johnson and John Vlissides explained the usefulness of
patterns and resulted in the widespread popularity of design
patterns.
•These four authors together are referred to as the Gang of Four
(GoF).

problems you find again and again in real-world application
development

when developing software within a particular context

Types of Pattern Types of Pattern
There are 3 types of pattern
•Creational: address problems of creating an object in a
flexible way. Separate creation, from operation/use.
•Structural: address problems of using O-O constructs like
inheritance to organize classes and objects
•Behavioral: address problems of assigning responsibilities to
classes. Suggest both static relationships and patterns of
communication (use cases)

Adapter Adapter
•Convert the interface of a class into another interface clients
expect
•Adapter lets classes work together that couldn't otherwise
because of incompatible interfaces
•Use the Adapter pattern when:
–you want to use an existing class and its interface does not
match the one you need
–you need to use several existing subclasses, but it's
impractical to adapt their interface by subclassing
everyone. An object adapter can adapt the interface of its
parent class

BridgeBridge
•Decouple an abstraction from its implementation so that the
two can vary independently
•Use the Bridge pattern when:
–you want run-time binding of the implementation
–you want to share an implementation among multiple
objects
•Decouple an abstraction from its implementation so that the

Composite Composite
•Compose objects into tree structures to represent whole-part
hierarchies. Composite lets clients treat individual objects and
compositions of objects uniformly
•Use this pattern whenever you have "composites that contain
components, each of which could be a composite".

Decorator Decorator
•Attach additional responsibilities to an object dynamically
•Decorators provide a flexible alternative to subclassing for
extending functionality

different behavior.

•People come to the reception with problems
•They describe their problems
•A special doctoRobot is created that is specialized to treat
their special situations.

Problems with solution-1Problems with solution-1
•Sometimes we don’t have multiple inheritance.
•Even if we have, if is problematic, and bad design.

Facade Facade
•Provide a unified interface to a set of interfaces in a subsystem
•Facade defines a higher-level interface that makes the
subsystem easier to use
•Create a class that is the interface to the subsystem
•Clients interface with the Facade class to deal with the
subsystem
•It hides the implementation of the subsystem from clients
•It promotes weak coupling between the subsystems and its
clients
•It does not prevent clients from using subsystems class, should
it?

Flyweight Flyweight
•Use sharing to support large numbers of fine-grained objects
efficiently
•The pattern can be used when:
–The program uses a large number of objects and
–The program does not use object identity (==)

Proxy Proxy
•Provide a surrogate or placeholder for another object to
control access to it.
•The proxy has the same interface as the original object
•Virtual Proxy:
–Creates/accesses expensive objects on demand
–You may wish to delay creating an expensive object until it
is really accessed
–It may be too expensive to keep entire state of the object in
memory at one time

control access to it.

•Protection Proxy
–Provides different objects different level of access to
original object
•Cache Proxy (Server Proxy)
–Multiple local clients can share results from expensive
operations: remote accesses or long computations
•Firewall Proxy
–Protect local clients from outside world

Benefits
•Flexible
•Don’t have to foresee all combinations
•Little objects
Possible problems
•Performance
•Decorators are not necessarily always cummutative
(surgeon and Anastasiolic)
