Template Method and State Patterns
Define algorithm skeletons with Template Method and allow objects to alter behavior with State.
Behavioral Patterns Focus
Welcome back! In this lesson, we'll dive into two powerful behavioral design patterns: the Template Method and the State patterns.
These patterns help manage algorithms and object behavior in flexible ways, making your code easier to extend and maintain.
What is Template Method?
The Template Method pattern defines the skeleton of an algorithm in an operation, deferring some steps to subclasses.
It lets subclasses redefine certain steps of an algorithm without changing the algorithm's overall structure.
