The Factory Pattern makes sure that our high-level components do not depend on our low-level components; rather, they both depend on abstractions. Here's a clear UML extracted from the book Head First ...

The Factory design pattern is one of the most commonly used design patterns in Java. It provides one of the best ways to create an object. In Factory design pattern, we create an object required ...

Here is a UML diagram that depicts what the factory’s operations might look like without the Bridge pattern: This works fine, until you need to make changes to a class.

When you want to create an instance of a class (an object), you normally do so by calling new on the class's constructor. As an alternative to new, the Static Factory pattern provides a static ...
