Creational Patterns

 

This design category is all about the class instantiation. Creational pattern uses class-creation patterns and object-creational patterns. The class-creation pattern uses inheritance effectively in the instantiation process while object-creation pattern uses delegation to get the job done. All the creational patterns define the best possible way to instantiate an object. They describes the best way to create the object instances. Many times, nature of the created object changes according to the nature of the program. In such scenarios, we use patterns to give this a more general and flexible approach, for example a object instance can be created using a new operator, which is a hard coding methodology ( hard coding should be the last option to go with).

There are five types of Creational Patterns.
1. Factory Pattern
2. Abstract Factory Pattern
3. Builder Pattern
4. Prototype Pattern
5. Singleton Pattern
