2. 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.

4. Bridge 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 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

6. 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".

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

9. Problems Several classes with a similar operation (method), but different behavior. We want to use many combinations of these behaviors Several classes with a similar operation (method), but different behavior. We want to use many combinations of these behaviors

10. Example - Automated Hospital People come to the reception with problems They describe their problems A special doctoRobot is created that is specialized to treat their special situations.

11. Automated Hospital - Solution 1

12. Problems with solution-1 Sometimes we don’t have multiple inheritance. Even if we have, if is problematic, and bad design. 2 n possible classes to create before compilation. Sometimes we don’t have multiple inheritance. Even if we have, if is problematic, and bad design. 2 n possible classes to create before compilation.

13. A Better idea: Use Decorator

14. Decorator in our case

15. Code Example Widget* aWidget = new BorderDecorator( new HorScrollDecorator( new VerScrollDecorator( new TextWidget( 80, 24 )))); aWidget->draw(); Stream* aStream = new CompressingStream( new ASCII7Stream( new FileStream( "fileName.dat" ))); aStream->putString( "Hello world" ); Widget* aWidget = new BorderDecorator( new HorScrollDecorator( new VerScrollDecorator( new TextWidget( 80, 24 )))); aWidget->draw(); Stream* aStream = new CompressingStream( new ASCII7Stream( new FileStream( "fileName.dat" ))); aStream->putString( "Hello world" );

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

17. 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?

19. 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 –Storage cost are high because of the sheer quantity of objects and –The program does not use object identity (==) 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 –Storage cost are high because of the sheer quantity of objects and –The program does not use object identity (==)

21. 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 Provide a surrogate or placeholder for another object to control access to it.

22. 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 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

26. Reference Counting Copying the string contents in every –Assignment, –Argument passing, and –Function returning value Can be both –Expensive, and –Unnecessary!
