Factory Pattern Example

The document outlines a Java implementation of a factory method design pattern for calculating electricity bills. It includes an abstract class 'Plan' and concrete classes 'DomesticPlan', 'CommercialPlan', and 'InstitutionalPlan' that define different rates. A 'GetPlanFactory' class is used to create instances of these plans based on user input, and a 'GenerateBill' class facilitates the bill calculation process.

Calculate Electricity Bill : A Real World Example of Factory Method

Step 1: Create a Plan abstract class.

import java.io.*;
abstract class Plan{
protected double rate;
abstract void getRate();

public void calculateBill(int units){


System.out.println(units*rate);
}
}//end of Plan class.
Step 2: Create the concrete classes that extends Plan abstract class.

class DomesticPlan extends Plan{


//@override
public void getRate(){
rate=3.50;
}
}//end of DomesticPlan class.
class CommercialPlan extends Plan{
//@override
public void getRate(){
rate=7.50;
}
/end of CommercialPlan class.
class InstitutionalPlan extends Plan{
//@override
public void getRate(){
rate=5.50;
}
/end of InstitutionalPlan class.
Step 3: Create a GetPlanFactory to generate object of concrete classes based on
given information..

class GetPlanFactory{

//use getPlan method to get object of type Plan


public Plan getPlan(String planType){
if(planType == null){
return null;
}
if(planType.equalsIgnoreCase("DOMESTICPLAN")) {
return new DomesticPlan();
}
else if(planType.equalsIgnoreCase("COMMERCIALPLAN")){
return new CommercialPlan();
}
else if(planType.equalsIgnoreCase("INSTITUTIONALPLAN")) {
return new InstitutionalPlan();
}
return null;
}
}//end of GetPlanFactory class.
Step 4: Generate Bill by using the GetPlanFactory to get the object of concrete
classes by passing an information such as type of plan DOMESTICPLAN or
COMMERCIALPLAN or INSTITUTIONALPLAN.

import java.io.*;
class GenerateBill{
public static void main(String args[])throws IOException{
GetPlanFactory planFactory = new GetPlanFactory();

System.out.print("Enter the name of plan for which the bill will be


generated: ");
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));

String planName=br.readLine();
System.out.print("Enter the number of units for bill will be calculated: ");

int units=Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());

Plan p = planFactory.getPlan(planName);
//call getRate() method and calculateBill()method of DomesticPaln.

System.out.print("Bill amount for "+planName+" of "+units+" units is: ");


p.getRate();
p.calculateBill(units);
}
}//end of GenerateBill class.
