L3 (Factory Method Design Pattern)

The document discusses the Factory Method Design Pattern, a creational pattern that centralizes the creation of objects from a specific type by choosing one of several implementations. It provides an example with a superclass 'Person' and its subclasses 'Student' and 'Teacher', demonstrating how a factory class can create instances of these subclasses. Additionally, it suggests using the Abstract Factory Design Pattern to create a calculator capable of performing addition and subtraction operations.

Factory Method Design Pattern
This is a creational pattern.

Centralize creation of an object of a specific type choosing one


of several implementations.
Factory Method Design Pattern

Suppose, we have a super class named “Person”. Two


other classes, “Student” and “Teacher”, have been
created by extending the “Person” class. We will create
another class where a particular method will take the
responsibility of creating any one of the two sub-
classes.
Factory Method Design Pattern (Example)

class Person
{
String name;
int height, weight;

public void printDetails ()


{
System.out.println ("Name: "+name+", height:
"+height+", weight: "+weight);
}
}
Factory Method Design Pattern (Example)

class Student extends Person


{
int studentid;

public void printDetails ()


{
System.out.println ("Name: "+name+", height:
"+height+", weight: "+weight+", student id: "+studentid);
}
}
Factory Method Design Pattern (Example)
class Teacher extends Person
{
String subject;

public void printDetails ()


{
System.out.println ("Name: "+name+", height: "+height+", weight: "+weight+",
course: "+showSubject ());
}

public String showSubject ()


{
if (subject == null) { return "not assigned yet"; }
return subject;
}
}
Factory Method Design Pattern (Example)
class PersonFactory
{
public Person makePerson (int ptype, String pname, int pheight, int pweight)
{
if (ptype == 1) //this is for student
{
Student s = new Student ();
s.name = pname;
s.height = pheight;
s.weight = pweight;
return s;
}
else
{
Teacher t = new Teacher ();
t.name = pname;
t.height = pheight;
t.weight = pweight;
return t;
}
}
}
Factory Method Design Pattern (Example)
public class Test {

/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here

PersonFactory factory = new PersonFactory ();

Person p1 = factory.makePerson(1, "Karim", 0, 0);


Person p2 = factory.makePerson(2, "Barek", 0, 0);

p1.printDetails();
p2.printDetails();
}

}
Factory Method Design Pattern
How can we apply this pattern for making a calculator
that can perform addition and subtraction?
Use Abstract Factory Design Pattern to implement a calculator that
performs two operations: addition and subtraction. The objects of the
addition and subtraction classes should have a method to return the
result of operation (add/subtract).
