How can I implement the adapter pattern in my code?

The adapter pattern allows incompatible interfaces to work together. Can you tell me what programming language you're using?

I'm using Java. Can you provide a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

// Target interface
interface Target {
    void request();
}

// Adaptee class
class Adaptee {
    void specificRequest() {
        System.out.println("Specific request from Adaptee.");
    }
}

// Adapter class
class Adapter implements Target {
    private Adaptee adaptee;

    public Adapter(Adaptee adaptee) {
        this.adaptee = adaptee;
    }

    @Override
    public void request() {
        adaptee.specificRequest();
    }
}

// Client code
public class Client {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Adaptee adaptee = new Adaptee();
        Target target = new Adapter(adaptee);
        target.request(); // Calls the specificRequest method
    }
}

What are some use cases for the adapter pattern?

The adapter pattern is useful when you want to integrate new features into existing systems, or when you need to work with legacy code that has incompatible interfaces.
