  2. Factory (object-oriented programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_(object-oriented...

    In class-based programming, a factory is an abstraction of a constructor of a class, while in prototype-based programming a factory is an abstraction of a prototype object. A constructor is concrete in that it creates objects as instances of one class, and by a specified process (class instantiation), while a factory can create objects by instantiating various classes, or by using other ...

  3. Factory method pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_method_pattern

    In object-oriented programming, the factory method pattern is a design pattern that uses factory methods to deal with the problem of creating objects without having to specify their exact classes. Rather than by calling a constructor, this is accomplished by invoking a factory method

  4. Creational pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creational_pattern

    In software engineering, creational design patterns are design patterns that deal with object creation mechanisms, trying to create objects in a manner suitable to the situation. The basic form of object creation could result in design problems or in added complexity to the design due to inflexibility in the creation procedures.

  5. Java (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_(programming_language)

    Java is a high-level, class-based, object-oriented programming language that is designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. It is a general-purpose programming language intended to let programmers write once, run anywhere (), [16] meaning that compiled Java code can run on all platforms that support Java without the need to recompile. [17]

  6. Builder pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Builder_pattern

    Encapsulate creating and assembling the parts of a complex object in a separate Builder object. A class delegates object creation to a Builder object instead of creating the objects directly. A class (the same construction process) can delegate to different Builder objects to create different representations of a complex object.

  7. Object lifetime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_lifetime

    Object creation generally consists of memory allocation and initialization where initialization includes assigning values to fields and running initialization code. Object destruction generally consists of finalization (a.k.a. cleanup) and memory deallocation (a.k.a. free). These steps generally proceed in order as: allocate, initialize ...

  8. Prototype pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prototype_pattern

    Creating objects directly within the class that requires (uses) the objects is inflexible because it commits the class to particular objects at compile-time and makes it impossible to specify which objects to create at run-time. The prototype design pattern describes how to solve such problems: Define a Prototype object that returns a copy of ...

  9. Constructor (object-oriented programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructor_(object...

    In class-based, object-oriented programming, a constructor (abbreviation: ctor) is a special type of function called to create an object.It prepares the new object for use, often accepting arguments that the constructor uses to set required member variables.
