Design Patterns

Refer to website: https://refactoring.guru/design-patterns

• Creational
  • Factory Method (Extends functionality of program)
  • Abstract Factory
  • Builder (Avoiding huge number of parameters withing object's consturctor. Combination of parameters.)
  • Prototype (Deepcopy of class)
• Structural
  • Decorator (Combines required functionalities)
  • Bridge
• Behavioral
  • Observer (Defines interaction between two or more classes)
  • Strategy (Extends functionality of program)

Data Structures

• Implemented data structures

  • Dictionary
  • Graph
  • Heap
  • LinkedList
  • Queue
  • Stack
  • Tree
  • Weighted Graph
  • Binary Search Tree (in progress. See good visualization: http://btv.melezinek.cz/binary-search-tree.html)
  • Generic List (in progress)

• To be implemented

  • Priority Queue

• What's used

  • NUnit UnitTest Framework
  • Generics
  • Indexers
  • IEnumerable interface implementation

SOLID

A set of principles recommended to follow in order to maintain business applications. Contains examples of both convinient and unconviniet examples

• Single Responsibility Principle - Do one thing, but do it best
• Open-Closed Principle - App. should be open for extension, but closed for modification. Usually, solved by pattern Strategy
• Liskov Substitution Principle - Proper abstractization, where all subclasses correctly implements methods from base class
• Interface Segregation Principle - Clients should not be forced to depend upon interfaces that they do not use.
• Dependency Inversion Principle
  • High-level modules should not depend on low-level modules. Both should depend on abstractions.
  • Abstractions should not depend on details. Details should depend on abstractions.
