 ## Intent
-Avoid coupling the sender of a request to its receiver by giving
-more than one object a chance to handle the request. Chain the receiving
-objects and pass the request along the chain until an object handles it.

 ## Explanation
 
 Real world example
 
-> The Orc King gives loud orders to his army. The closest one to react is the commander, then officer and then soldier. The commander, officer and soldier here form a chain of responsibility.

 In plain words
 
-> It helps building a chain of objects. Request enters from one end and keeps going from object to object till it finds the suitable handler.

 Wikipedia says
 
-> In object-oriented design, the chain-of-responsibility pattern is a design pattern consisting of a source of command objects and a series of processing objects. Each processing object contains logic that defines the types of command objects that it can handle; the rest are passed to the next processing object in the chain.

 ## Applicability
+
 Use Chain of Responsibility when
 
-* more than one object may handle a request, and the handler isn't known a priori. The handler should be ascertained automatically
-* you want to issue a request to one of several objects without specifying the receiver explicitly
-* the set of objects that can handle a request should be specified dynamically
