Software design patterns<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>
\"A <\/span>design pattern<\/span> is a general repeatable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software design. A design pattern isn't a finished design that can be transformed directly into code. It is a description or template for how to solve a problem that can be used in many different situations\"(Source making, 2016).<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
The concept of software design originated in 1994 with the Gang of four<\/i> (GOF) <\/span>which is a group of authors: <\/span>Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson and John Vlissides, who wrote a book called <\/span><\/span>Design Patterns - Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software<\/i> which originated the concept.<\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/span><\/span><\/div>
What are the uses of design patterns?<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>

<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>
They are two main uses:<\/span><\/span><\/div>
<\/div>
  1. They provide a standard terminology and are specific to particular scenario.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
  2. Learning these patterns helps unexperienced developers to learn software design in an easy and faster way.<\/span><\/span><\/li><\/ol>
    What are the types of design patterns?<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>

    <\/span><\/span><\/div>
    There are 23 design patterns which can be classified in three categories: <\/span><\/span><\/div>
    <\/div>
    1. Creational: you can <\/span><\/span>create objects while hiding the creation logic.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
    2. Structural: <\/span><\/span>used to compose interfaces and define ways to compose objects to obtain new functionalities.<\/span><\/span><\/li>
    3. Behavioral patterns: worried <\/span><\/span>with communication between objects<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/li><\/ol>
