Java Design Patterns - Interview Summary

1. Creational Patterns

- Singleton: Ensures a class has only one instance.


- Example: [Link]()
- Use: Logging, Configuration

- Factory Method: Creates object without exposing creation logic.


- Example: [Link]()
- Use: Shape factory

- Abstract Factory: Factory of factories. Creates related objects.


- Use: UI components per OS

- Builder: Step-by-step construction of complex object.


- Example: StringBuilder

- Prototype: Clones an object instead of creating.


- Example: [Link]()

2. Structural Patterns

- Adapter: Bridge between incompatible interfaces.


- Example: [Link]()

- Decorator: Add behavior without changing structure.


- Example: BufferedReader wrapping FileReader

- Facade: Unified interface over subsystems.


- Example: FacesContext

- Proxy: Placeholder for another object.


- Example: [Link]

- Composite: Treat group of objects like one.


- Example: File system
- Bridge: Decouple abstraction from implementation.

- Flyweight: Reduce memory using shared objects.


- Example: [Link]()

3. Behavioral Patterns

- Observer: One-to-many dependency.


- Example: Event listeners

- Strategy: Interchangeable algorithms.


- Example: Comparator

- Command: Wrap request as an object.


- Example: Runnable

- Chain of Responsibility: Pass request along a chain.


- Example: Servlet filters

- Template Method: Algorithm structure in superclass.


- Example: HttpServlet

- State: Change behavior based on state.


- Example: Vending Machine

- Mediator: Centralizes communication.


- Use: Chatroom

- Iterator: Sequential access.


- Example: Iterator, ListIterator

- Visitor: Add operations without changing classes.


- Use: Tax calculation
