    Flyweight Pattern

    A design pattern that reduces memory consumption by sharing common parts of objects. It reduces object count to save memory.

    Proxy Pattern

    A design pattern where an object acts on behalf of another object, hiding the implementation details from the client.

    Flyweight, Concrete Flyweight, Unshared Concrete Flyweight

    These are components of the Flyweight pattern. Flyweight is the abstract class, Concrete Flyweight is a class of reusable flyweights that contains a shared part of the original object, Unshared Concrete Flyweight contains the unique parts.

    Proxy Example Use Case

    Proxy patterns should be used for remote objects, large objects, objects with complex history requirements, or for managing the lifecycle of objects.

    Study Notes

    When to use the Adapter pattern

    • When an existing class needs to be integrated with another class that has an incompatible interface
    • When you want to reuse existing code without modifying it
    • When you want to provide a different interface for existing functionality

    Primary reason to use the Bridge pattern

    • To decouple an abstraction from its implementation
    • To allow for flexibility in choosing the concrete implementation at runtime
    • To enable the independent modification of both the abstraction and its implementation

    Role of the Adapter in the Bridge pattern

    • The Adapter is NOT a component of the Bridge pattern

    Components of the Bridge pattern class diagram

    • Abstraction
    • Implementor
    • Refined Abstraction
    • Concrete Implementor

    Ideal scenario for applying the Composite pattern

    • When you want to treat individual objects and composite objects uniformly
    • When you need to perform operations on individual objects and the entire structure

    Function of the Composite pattern

    • To define an interface for objects and composite objects
    • To allow for the composition of objects into tree structures
    • To treat individual objects and composite objects uniformly

    Usage of the Adaptation pattern

    • To convert the interface of a class into another interface clients expect

    • To enable easy modification of the implementation without affecting the abstraction

    Primary purpose of the Flyweight pattern

    • To share objects efficiently by storing them in a pool
    • To reduce memory consumption by reusing existing objects
    • To improve performance by avoiding the creation of new objects when possible

    Proxy pattern usage

    • To control access to an object or resource
    • To provide a placeholder for a real object that is expensive to create
    • To add additional functionality to an existing object

    Entities of the Flyweight pattern class diagram

    • Flyweight
    • ConcreteFlyweight

    Advantage of using a Proxy for remote service objects

    • To reduce network traffic by caching data locally
    • To hide the complexity of remote communication from the client
    • To provide a consistent interface for local and remote objects

    Scenarios where the Proxy pattern SHOULD NOT be used

    • When you want to prevent access to an object for security reasons
    • When you need to control access to a resource based on user permissions

    When to use the Decorator pattern

    • When you want to add functionality to an object dynamically at runtime
    • When you want to provide a flexible way to extend existing classes without modifying them
    • When you want to customize objects with different combinations of decorations

    Primary purpose of the Facade pattern

    • To provide a simplified interface to a complex subsystem
    • To hide the complexity of the underlying implementation
    • To make the subsystem easier to use and understand

    Role of the Concrete Decorator in the Decorator pattern

    • To define the specific functionality that is added to the decorated object
    • To implement the methods of the Decorator interface
    • To delegate to the decorated object to ensure that the original functionality is preserved

    Situation best handled by the Flyweight pattern

    • When you have a large number of objects with many identical properties
    • When you are concerned about memory usage and performance

    Characteristics of the Facade pattern

    • It does NOT provide a different interface to the subsystem
    • It does NOT define a new interface, it simply provides a simpler view of the existing one

    Benefits of the Decorator pattern over traditional inheritance

    • It allows for dynamic decoration of objects at runtime
    • It avoids the creation of a large number of subclasses for each possible combination of decorators

    Essential component in the Flyweight pattern class diagram

    • Flyweight
    • ConcreteFlyweight
    • FlyweightFactory

    Defining a Concrete Component in the Decorator pattern

    • It provides implementation for the methods defined in the Component interface
    • It represents the object that can be decorated
    • It is the target of the decorators
