Behavioral patterns aim to solve the problem of how objects should cooperate, how they should communicate, and what their interfaces should be at run-time.
We discuss mainly the following behavioral patterns:
- Chain of responsibility
- Template method
- Command
- State
This can be accomplished statically by means of inheritance or dynamically by using composition. Regardless of what the pattern uses, what we will see throughout the following examples is that what these patterns have in common is the fact that the resulting code is better in some significant way, whether this is because it avoids duplication or creates good abstractions that encapsulate behavior accordingly and decouple our models.
