What is a key benefit of using the Strategy Pattern?
Improved code readability and maintainability by separating algorithm logic.
Enhanced security by restricting access to algorithms.
Elimination of conditional statements.
Reduced object creation overhead.
In the Observer pattern, what does the 'subject' object do?
Maintains a list of its dependents and notifies them of state changes.
Observes the state of other objects.
Both B and C
Provides an interface for attaching and detaching observer objects.
How does the Singleton pattern typically provide access to its single instance?
By directly accessing a public instance variable.
Using a separate factory class.
Through a static method within the class.
Through a public constructor.
Which scenario best exemplifies a situation where the Command Pattern would be beneficial?
You have a graphical user interface with buttons that trigger different actions on a document.
You have a simple algorithm that doesn't require encapsulation or extensibility.
You need to represent a hierarchical relationship between objects.
You need to create objects of varying types based on user input.
In Java, what keyword is commonly used to ensure thread-safe Singleton instantiation?
synchronized
volatile
final
abstract
Which of these scenarios would be a suitable use case for the Decorator Pattern?
Creating different types of vehicles with varying features.
Representing a family tree with complex relationships between members.
Managing the state of an object throughout its lifecycle.
Implementing a logging system that can be added to different parts of an application.
Which of these is a common use case for the Observer pattern?
Implementing a notification system.
Defining a factory for creating objects.
Implementing an undo/redo mechanism.
Creating a singleton object.
Can you have multiple Facade classes for a single complex subsystem?
It's possible but not recommended as it violates the pattern's principles.
No, the Facade Pattern restricts to only one Facade class.
Yes, you can have different Facades exposing tailored functionalities.
Multiple Facades can only be used with abstract classes, not concrete ones.
Design patterns primarily target which aspect of software development?
Code structure and organization
Database optimization
Code compilation speed
Application security
In the context of the Decorator Pattern, what is the relationship between the 'ConcreteComponent' and 'Decorator'?
The Decorator inherits from the ConcreteComponent.
Both the Decorator and ConcreteComponent implement the same interface.
The ConcreteComponent inherits from the Decorator.
There is no direct relationship between them.
