The Visitor [1] design pattern is one of the twenty-three well-known Gang of Four design patterns that describe how to solve recurring design problems to design flexible and reusable object-oriented software, that is, objects that are easier to implement, change, test, and reuse.
The single-serving visitor pattern should be used when visitors do not need to remain in memory. This is often the case when visiting a hierarchy of objects (such as when the visitor pattern is used together with the composite pattern) to perform a single task on it, for example counting the number of cameras in a 3D scene.
The visitor pattern solves this by factoring out the operation (pretty printing) to a separate class, which specializes in just pretty printing. So if you have many related types, and feel the urge to add more and more operations to (almost) every one of them, consider applying the Visitor pattern. --Objarni 10:57, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

A (software) design pattern is a general solution to a common problem in software design. It is a description or template for how to solve a problem, that can be used in different situations. A design pattern typically shows relationship and interaction between classes or objects, without specifying final application classes or objects that are ...
Many object-oriented design patterns are expressible in functional programming terms: for example, the strategy pattern simply dictates use of a higher-order function, and the visitor pattern roughly corresponds to a catamorphism, or fold.
Where it would get really interesting would be if Clemson upsets SMU in the ACC title game or UNLV upsets Boise State in the Mountain West title game and causes a bid to be “stolen” — i.e ...
With this in mind, one ought never to presume the use of agents in the double-dispatch and their application in visitor patterns. If one can clearly see a design limit as to the domain of class types that will be involved in the co-variant interactions, then a direct call is the more efficient solution in terms of computational expense.
