**Intent:** Double Dispatch pattern is a way to create maintainable dynamic
|
||
|
|
behavior based on receiver and parameter types.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Applicability:** Use the Double Dispatch pattern when
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* the dynamic behavior is not defined only based on receiving object's type but also on the receiving method's parameter type.
