The Strategy Pattern is a behavioral design pattern that allows you to define a family of algorithms, encapsulate each one, and make them interchangeable. Strategy lets the algorithm vary independently from clients that use it. It is one of the twenty-three Gang of Four design patterns that describe how to solve recurring design problems in software engineering.
What is the Strategy Pattern?
The Strategy Pattern defines a set of interchangeable strategies that can be used by a client. It allows the client to choose the appropriate strategy to use at runtime, without having to modify the client's code. This makes it easy to add new strategies or change existing strategies without affecting the client code.
The Strategy Pattern consists of the following components:
-
Strategy: Defines the interface for the strategies.
-
ConcreteStrategy: Implements the Strategy interface and provides the specific implementation of the strategy.
-
Context: Uses a Strategy object to perform its work.
Benefits of Using the Strategy Pattern
The Strategy Pattern offers several benefits, including:
