Hello! Today, we'll venture into the realm of design patterns. Specifically, we'll tackle exercises that apply a single design pattern to problem-solving. Mastering these patterns is a surefire way to extend your coding skills.
Our goal today is to fortify your understanding of when and how to apply specific Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) design patterns. These patterns include Encapsulation, Abstraction, Polymorphism, and Composition.
We'll dissect four real-life scenarios and distinguish which pattern is applicable and why.
Let's get underway!
The Encapsulation pattern proves beneficial for the development of a Database Management System (DBMS). Each DBMS table represents a class, the fields represent private properties, and the functions operating on this data serve as methods.
Encapsulation ensures that data properties are accessed through methods that promote data integrity and prevent inadvertent anomalies. Here's a mini-code snippet to support this concept:
