Explains the Chain of Responsibility pattern for passing requests through a handler pipeline until one handles them.

Explains the Command pattern for encapsulating requests as objects to support queuing, logging, and undo operations.

Explains the Composite pattern for modeling part-whole hierarchies and treating single objects and object groups uniformly.

Explains the Decorator pattern for adding responsibilities to objects dynamically without relying on subclassing.

Explains the Facade pattern for exposing a simple interface over complex subsystems to reduce coupling.

Explains the Factory Method pattern for deferring object creation to subclasses while preserving a common creation contract.

Overview of Java design patterns, their categories, and how they improve maintainability, readability, and software design decisions.

Explains the Observer pattern for propagating state changes to dependent objects through event-style notifications.

Explains the Prototype pattern for creating new objects by cloning existing instances instead of rebuilding them from scratch.

Explains the Singleton pattern for ensuring a single shared instance and a controlled global access point.

Explains the Strategy pattern for swapping algorithms at runtime through a shared interface and composition.

Explains the Template Method pattern for defining an algorithm skeleton while allowing subclasses to customize specific steps.
