When should I use creational design patterns?

Creational design patterns are used when you need to create objects in a flexible and reusable way. They help manage object creation mechanisms.

Can you give me some examples of creational patterns?

Sure! Common creational patterns include Singleton, Factory Method, and Abstract Factory. Each serves different purposes.

What is the Singleton pattern used for?

The Singleton pattern ensures that a class has only one instance and provides a global point of access to it, useful for managing shared resources.

How do I decide which pattern to use?

Consider factors like the complexity of object creation, the need for flexibility, and whether you need to manage shared resources.
