Behavioral

Question 1

Chain of Responsibility

Answer 1

Lets you pass requests along a chain of handlers. Upon receiving a request, each handler decides either to process the request or to pass it to the next handler in the chain.

Question 2

Command

Answer 2

Turns a request into a stand-alone object that contains all information about the request. This transformation lets you parameterize methods with different requests, delay or queue a request’s execution, and support undoable operations.

Question 3

Iterator

Answer 3

Lets you traverse elements of a collection without exposing its underlying representation (list, stack, tree, etc.).

Question 4

Mediator

Answer 4

Lets you reduce chaotic dependencies between objects. The pattern restricts direct communications between the objects and forces them to collaborate only via a mediator object.

Question 5

Memento

Answer 5

Lets you save and restore the previous state of an object without revealing the details of its implementation.

Question 6

Observer

Answer 6

Lets you define a subscription mechanism to notify multiple objects about any events that happen to the object they’re observing.

Question 7

State

Answer 7

Lets an object alter its behavior when its internal state changes. It appears as if the object changed its class.

Question 8

Strategy

Answer 8

Lets you define a family of algorithms, put each of them into a separate class, and make their objects interchangeable.

Question 9

Template Method

Answer 9

Defines the skeleton of an algorithm in the superclass but lets subclasses override specific steps of the algorithm without changing its structure.

Question 10

Visitor

Answer 10

Lets you separate algorithms from the objects on which they operate.
