Lab 11 (Creational Design Pattern (GoF) )

This document discusses design patterns and the factory pattern specifically. It provides definitions of design patterns, their elements and types. It then describes the factory pattern as a creational design pattern that deals with object creation. It gives the design purpose of the factory pattern as creating objects in situations where the constructor is inadequate. It provides a class diagram and code example to illustrate the factory pattern. It also summarizes the singleton pattern and provides steps to apply it to a MyClass example. Finally, it provides tasks to apply the singleton pattern to a student class.

Lab 09: Creational Design Pattern (GoF)

Design Pattern:

Design patterns are evolved as reusable solutions to the problems that we encounter everyday of
programming.

“A pattern describes a problem that occurs often, along with a tried solution to the problem”
- Christopher Alexander, 1977

Design patterns are descriptions of communicating objects and classes that are customized to
solve a general design problem in a particular context.
A design pattern is not 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.

Elements of Design Pattern:

In general, a pattern has four essential elements:


1. Pattern Name- Useful part of software design
2. Problem- When to apply the pattern
3. Solution- Elements that make up the pattern, their
relationships, responsibilities, and collaborations.
4. Consequences- Results and trade-offs of applying the pattern

Types of Design Patterns:

1. Creational patterns
– Creating a collection of objects in flexible ways
2. Structural patterns
– Representing a collection of related objects
3. Behavioral patterns
– Capturing behavior among a collection of objects.

Creational Design Pattern:

• In software engineering, creational design patterns are design patterns that deal with
object creation mechanisms, trying to create objects in a manner suitable to the
situation.
• The basic form of object creation could result in design problems or added complexity
to the design. Creational design patterns solve this problem by somehow controlling this
object creation

Factory: Creational Design Pattern:

Design Purpose
Create individual objects in situations where the constructor alone is
inadequate.

Design Pattern Summary


Use methods to return required objects.
In class-based programming, the factory method pattern is a creational pattern that uses
factory methods to deal with the problem of creating objects without having to specify the exact
class of the object that will be created.

Example:

Lab Task:

Singleton Design Pattern:

Design Purpose
Ensure a class (e.g S) has only one instance, and provide a global point of access to it.
Design Pattern Summary
Make the constructor of S private; define a private static attribute for Singleton class of type S;
define a public access or for it.

The Singleton Design Pattern Applied to MyClass: 3 Steps

1. Define a private static member variable of MyClass of type MyClass


private static MyClass singletonOfMyClass = new MyClass();
2. Make the constructor of MyClass private
private MyClass() { /* ….constructor code …. */ };
3. Define a public static method to access the member
public static MyClass getSingletonOfMyClass()
{
return singletonOfMyClass;
}

 Create a class named student.


 Define two attribute: name & id
 Make getters and setters of name & id.
 Apply singleton pattern, so one object of Single_Object could be created.
 Create the main method.
 Call getters and setters method from main method
