Design Patterns

Creational Patterns:

Abstract Factory: Creates an instance of several families of classes
Builder: Separates object construction from its representation
Factory Method: Creates an instance of several derived classes
Prototype: A fully initialized instance to be copied or cloned
Singleton: A class of which only a single instance can exist

Structural Patterns:

Adapter: Match interfaces of different classes
Bridge: Separates an object’s interface from its implementation
Composite: A tree structure of simple and composite objects
Decorator: Add responsibilities to objects dynamically
Facade: A single class that represents an entire subsystem
Flyweight: A fine-grained instance used for efficient sharing
Proxy: An object representing another object

Behavioral Patterns:

Chain of Resp: A way of passing a request between a chain of objects
Command: Encapsulate a command request as an object
Interpreter: A way to include language elements in a program
Iterator: Sequentially access the elements of a collection
Mediator: Defines simplified communication between classes
Memento: Capture and restore an object's internal state
Observer: A way of notifying change to a number of classes
State: Alter an object's behavior when its state changes
Strategy: Encapsulates an algorithm inside a class
Template: Method Defer the exact steps of an algorithm to a subclass
Visitor: Defines a new operation to a class without change
