Behavioral Design Patterns

Behavioral Patterns

• Mediator:-Defines simplified communication between classes.
• Memento:-Capture and restore an object's internal state.
• Interpreter:- A way to include language elements in a program.
• Iterator:-Sequentially access the elements of a collection.
• Chain of Resp: - A way of passing a request between a chain of objects.
• Command:-Encapsulate a command request as an object.
• State:-Alter an object's behavior when its state changes.
• Strategy:-Encapsulates an algorithm inside a class.
• Observer: - A way of notifying change to a number of classes.
• Template Method:-Defer the exact steps of an algorithm to a subclass.
• Visitor:-Defines a new operation to a class without change.

• Mediator

Rather than components communicating directly with each other if they communicate to centralized component like mediator and then mediator takes care of sending those messages to other components, logic will be neat and clean.

• Memento

Memento pattern helps us to store a snapshot which can be reverted at any moment of time by the object.

• Command

Command pattern moves the action into objects. These objects when executed actually execute the command. Every command is an object. We first prepare individual classes for every action i.e. exit, open, file and print. Al l the above actions are wrapped in to classes like Exit action is wrapped in ‘clsExecuteExit’ , open action is wrapped in ‘clsExecuteOpen’, print action is wrapped in ‘clsExecutePrint’ and so on. All these classes are inherited from a common interface ‘IExecute’.

• Template

/**
 * An abstract class that is common to several games in
 * which players play against the others, but only one is
 * playing at a given time.
 */
 
abstract class Game {
 
    protected int playersCount;
    abstract void initializeGame();
    abstract void makePlay(int player);
    abstract boolean endOfGame();
    abstract void printWinner();
 
    /* A template method : */
    public final void playOneGame(int playersCount) {
        this.playersCount = playersCount;
        initializeGame();
        int j = 0;
        while (!endOfGame()) {
            makePlay(j);
            j = (j + 1) % playersCount;
        }
        printWinner();
    }}
 
//Now we can extend this class in order //to implement actual games:
 
class Monopoly extends Game {
 
    /* Implementation of necessary concrete methods */
    void initializeGame() {
        // Initialize players
        // Initialize money
    }
    void makePlay(int player) {
        // Process one turn of player
    }
    boolean endOfGame() {
        // Return true if game is over 
        // according to Monopoly rules
    }
    void printWinner() {
        // Display who won
    }
    /* Specific declarations for the Monopoly game. */
 
    // ...}
 
class Chess extends Game {
 
    /* Implementation of necessary concrete methods */
    void initializeGame() {
        // Initialize players
        // Put the pieces on the board
    }
    void makePlay(int player) {
        // Process a turn for the player
    }
    boolean endOfGame() {
        // Return true if in Checkmate or 
        // Stalemate has been reached
    }
    void printWinner() {
        // Display the winning player
    }
    /* Specific declarations for the chess game. */
 
    // ...}
