How does the Strategy Pattern work?

Can you explain how the Strategy Pattern works in software design?

Sure! The Strategy Pattern is a behavioral design pattern that enables selecting an algorithm's behavior at runtime.

Can you give me an example of where I might use the Strategy Pattern?

Absolutely! A common example is in sorting algorithms. You can have different sorting strategies like quicksort or mergesort.

How do I implement the Strategy Pattern in my code?

You would define a strategy interface, then create concrete classes for each algorithm. Finally, you can use a context class to switch between them.

What are the benefits of using the Strategy Pattern?

The main benefits include increased flexibility, easier maintenance, and the ability to add new strategies without modifying existing code.
