- Shared vocabs. to increase comm.
Recollection
- Basics of Design Pattern
- What it is and is not
Recollection
- Start with a KISS and A PIE
- Refactoring
- Apply OOP
Recollection
Types
- Creational, Behavioral, Structural, Concurrency

Strategy Pattern
Defines a family of algorithms, encapsulates each one, and makes them interchangeable. Strategy lets the algorithm vary independently from clients that use it.
State Pattern
Allows an object to alter its behavior when its internal state changes. The object will appear to change its class.

State Pattern
- Flexible alternative to subclassing
- The client usually specifies the strategy object to compose the Context
- Policy Pattern
- A substitute to many if-then-else statements
- The client interacts with the Context. The Context delegates its internal state through its subclasses

Summary
The State pattern allows an object to alter its internal state (behavior) via delegation at run-time
Characterized by a long list of conditional statements
The State and Strategy patterns share the same structure, the difference is in the intent.
Result in more numbers of classes in your design
