Understanding Structural Patterns

Structural patterns describe how classes and objects can be combined to form larger structures through inheritance and composition. Class patterns involve using inheritance to provide interfaces, while object patterns involve composing objects within other objects. Common structural design patterns include Decorator, Proxy, Bridge, Composite, Flyweight, Adapter, and Facade, with the Decorator pattern allowing new state and behavior to be attached dynamically to objects without affecting other objects.

Structural Pattern

Structural patterns describe how classes and


objects can be combined to form larger
structures. The difference between class
patterns and object patterns is that class
patterns describe how inheritance can be used
to provide more useful program interfaces.
Object patterns, on the other hand, describe
how objects can be composed into larger
structures using object composition, or the
inclusion of objects within other objects.
Design patterns which makes
Structural Pattern:
 Decorator
 Proxy
 Bridge
 Composite
 Flywieght
 Adapter
 Facade
Decorator Pattern
Decorative pattern provide a way of attaching
new state and behavior to an object
dynamically. The object does not know it is
being “decorated” which makes it useful pattern
for evolving systems.
