strategy pattern instead of switch

Hi,
I read somewhere recently that the strategy pattern could be used
instead of using switch command on an enum (for example). How would
this work? A small example would be great.

Thanks,
Nick

I think there are 2 options for how to implement the Strategy pattern. One is to use polymorphism; derived classes have the same interface and can be plugged in. The other is to use templates: Instantiate the class, passing in a functor (algorithm). Code samples below. The problem with the first way is that the interface must be the same (parameters passed in) for all strategies. The problem with the second way is that there is no...

Hi, I have a problem to implemente the strategy pattern. the problem come from that a method take different arguments type (object in interface and String / Int in implemented class). When price3 instance call getPrice, the method invoked is the one of PriceRule abstract class. But, I want to invoke the method of PriceruleForRegion. So I think the solution is somewhere on casting to original type (PriceRuleForRegion) but I don't how I...

Hello all, I've been trying to go over my OO Patterns book, and I decided to try to implement them in Python this time around. I figured this would help me learn the language better. Well, I've gotten stuck with my first go at OO patterns with Python. I guess it goes without say that some of the stuff that are taken for granted in most of the books (ie. Interfaces, Abstract classes) don't really apply to Python per say, but the idea...

I'm almost done my series of design patterns using PHP 5. Today's pattern is the Strategy Pattern. http://www.fluffycat.com/PHP-Design-Patterns/Strategy/ In the Stratedy Pattern a "family of algorythms" is used interchangably by calling clients. This is the second pattern in as many days as I've used my older work with patterns in Java, and again I liked the old example when I first

Hi i have a string variable which can take one of a set of many values. Depending on the value I need to take different (but related) actions. So I have a big if/else-if construct - but what is a better way of doing this? if ("control" == commandString) { } else if ("execute" == commandString)

Good Morning All, I am writing an app to calculate the cost of a hotel room. I am new to c++. I have decided to try using the Strategy Design Pattern. I want a superclass HotelRoom, and then make 3 classes that inherit from it. SuiteRoom, StandardRoom, and DeluxeRoom. The price of the room is based on 3 factors, if there is are more then 2 people in the room, there is a $10 charge per persons over 2, if they add an extra bed, and the room...

I have a situation where one class can be customized with several orthogonal options. Currently this is implemented with (multiple) inheritance but this leads to combinatorial explosion of subclasses as more orthogonal features are added. Naturally, the decorator pattern comes to mind (not to be confused with the the Python meaning of the term "decorator"). However, there is a twist. In the standard decorator pattern, the decorator...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
