Introduction to Design
Patterns

• Definition: Design patterns are reusable solutions to common


problems in software design.

• Purpose: They provide best practices and guide developers in


designing flexible and maintainable code

What is Template Method
Pattern?
• Definition: A behavioral design pattern that defines the
skeleton of an algorithm in a method, allowing subclasses to
redefine certain steps without changing the algorithm's
structure.

• Key Idea: It provides a base method (template) where steps


can be customized by subclasses.
Template Method Pattern
Structure
• Abstract Class: Contains the template method that defines the overall
workflow.
• Concrete Classes: Implement the customizable steps of the algorithm.

• Abstract Class (Template Method):


⚬ Defines the overall structure of an algorithm (template method).
⚬ The algorithm consists of multiple steps (methods).
• Method 1 (Step 1):
⚬ A fixed step in the template method.
⚬ Defined in the base class and not meant to be overridden.
• Method 2 (Step 2 - customizable by subclass):
⚬ A customizable step defined as an abstract or virtual method.
⚬ Each subclass provides its own implementation of this step.
• Method 3 (Step 3):
⚬ Another fixed step defined in the base class.
⚬ Common across all subclasses and typically not overridden.
• Concrete Class 1:
⚬ Implements the template method with its own logic for Step 2.
• Concrete Class 2:
⚬ Implements the template method with a different version of
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod

# Abstract Class
CODE def play_turn(self):
print("Playing Chess Turn")

class Game(ABC): def end(self):


# Template Method print("Ending Chess Game")
def play(self):
self.start() # Concrete Class 2: Football
self.play_turn() class Football(Game):
self.end() def start(self):
print("Starting Football Game")
@abstractmethod
def start(self): def play_turn(self):
pass print("Playing Football Turn")

@abstractmethod def end(self):


def play_turn(self): print("Ending Football Game")
pass
# Example usage
@abstractmethod if __name__ == "__main__":
def end(self): chess = Chess()
pass chess.play()

# Concrete Class 1: Chess football = Football()


class Chess(Game): football.play()
def start(self):
print("Starting Chess Game")
Real-World
Example
• Scenario: Cooking a meal
• Template Method: Recipe (Step-by-step guide)
• Concrete Classes: Different dishes (custom steps based on the type of
meal)
• Steps:
1.Prepare Ingredients
2.Cook (customizable)
3.Serve
• Each dish (subclass) implements its own version of the cooking step.

Advantages of Template Method


• Pattern
Promotes code reuse by defining the common
structure.
• Enforces a consistent workflow in the algorithm.
• Helps avoid duplicate code in subclasses.
Conclusio
n
• The Template Method Pattern helps in defining a framework for an
algorithm with customizable steps.
• It promotes flexibility and reuse by allowing subclasses to override
certain parts of the workflow.

Key Takeaway: Use the Template Method Pattern when you want to
standardize the overall structure but allow certain steps to vary in
subclasses.
