#Design pattern samples in Java. ##Abstract Factory **Intent:** Provide an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes. ##Builder **Intent:** Separate the construction of a complex object from its representation so that the same construction process can create different representations. ##Factory Method **Intent:** Define an interface for creating an object, but let subclasses decide which class to instantiate. Factory Method lets a class defer instantiation to subclasses. ##Prototype **Intent:** Specify the kinds of objects to create using a prototypical instance, and create new objects by copying this prototype. ##Singleton **Intent:** Ensure a class only has one instance, and provide a global point of access to it. ##Adapter **Intent:** Convert the interface of a class into another interface clients expect. Adapter lets classes work together that couldn't otherwise because of incompatible interfaces. ##Bridge **Intent:** Decouple an abstraction from its implementationso that the two can vary independently. ##Composite **Intent:** Compose objects into tree structures to represent part-whole hierarchies. Composite lets clients treat individual objects and compositions of objects uniformly. ##Decorator **Intent:** Attach additional responsibilities to an object dynamically. Decorators provide a flexible alternative to subclassing for extending functionality. ##Facade **Intent:** Provide a unified interface to a set of interfaces in a subsystem. Facade defines a higher-level interface that makes the subsystem easier to use. ##Flyweight **Intent:** Use sharing to support large numbers of fine-grained objects efficiently. ##Proxy **Intent:** Provide a surrogate or placeholder for another object to control access to it. ##Chain of responsibility **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. ##Command **Intent:** Encapsulate a request as an object, thereby letting you parameterize clients with different requests, queue or log requests, and support undoable operations. ##Interpreter **Intent:** Given a language, define a representation for its grammar along with an interpreter that uses the representation to interpret sentences in the language. ##Iterator **Intent:** Provide a way to access the elements of an aggregate object sequentially without exposing its underlying representation. ##Mediator **Intent:** Define an object that encapsulates how a set of objects interact. Mediator promotes loose coupling by keeping objects from referring to each other explicitly, and it lets you vary their interaction independently. ##Memento **Intent:** Without violating encapsulation, capture and externalize an object's internal state so that the object can be restored to this state later. ##Observer **Intent:** Define a one-to-many dependency between objects so that when one object changes state, all its dependents are notified and updated automatically.
