Questions and Answers

What is the main difference between Abstract Factory and Builder?

  • Builder specializes in creating families of related objects, while Abstract Factory focuses on constructing complex objects step by step.
  • Abstract Factory is less complicated and more customizable via subclasses, while Builder is more flexible but more complicated.
  • Abstract Factory returns the product immediately, while Builder lets you run some additional construction steps before fetching the product. (correct)
  • Builder uses a set of Factory Methods, while Abstract Factory uses Prototype to compose the methods.

    • What is the purpose of using Abstract Factory along with Bridge?

  • To hide the way the subsystem objects are created from the client code.
  • To create families of related objects.
  • To encapsulate the relations between abstractions and implementations. (correct)
  • To provide an alternative to Facade.

    • What is the problem that Builder pattern solves?

  • Monstrous constructors with lots of parameters.
  • Scattered initialization code all over the client code.
  • Laborious, step-by-step initialization of many fields and nested objects.
  • All of the above. (correct)

    Study Notes

    Relations with Other Patterns

    • Many designs start with Factory Method and evolve to Abstract Factory, Prototype, or Builder for more flexibility and complexity.
    • Builder focuses on step-by-step construction of complex objects.
    • Abstract Factory specializes in creating families of related objects and returns the product immediately.
    • Abstract Factory can serve as an alternative to Facade when hiding object creation from client code.

    Abstract Factory

    • Can be used with Bridge to encapsulate relations and hide complexity from client code.
    • Can be implemented as a Singleton.

    Builder

    • A creational design pattern that constructs complex objects step by step.
    • Allows for different types and representations of an object using the same construction code.
    • Organizes object construction into a set of steps (e.g., buildWalls, buildDoor).
    • Users can call only necessary steps to produce a particular configuration of an object.
    • Different builders can implement the same set of building steps to produce various representations of the product.

    Design Patterns

    • Providing object creation mechanisms that increase flexibility and reuse of existing code.
    • Structured into three main groups: Creational, Structural, and Behavioral patterns.
    • Creational patterns provide object creation mechanisms.
    • Structural patterns explain how to assemble objects and classes into larger structures.
    • Behavioral patterns take care of effective communication and assignment of responsibilities between objects.

    History of Design Patterns

    • The concept of patterns was first described by Christopher Alexander in "A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction".
    • Applied to programming by Erich Gamma, John Vlissides, Ralph Johnson, and Richard Helm in "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software" (1995).
    • "The Gang of Four" (GOF) book featured 23 patterns and became a bestseller.
    • Dozens of other object-oriented patterns have been discovered since then.
