Abstract
It is perhaps easiest to think of a design pattern as a template for a solution. When presented with a problem, the first thing we do is identify the defining characteristics of the problem. Then, we examine our armoury to see whether we have a generic solution that solves the problem we’ve characterized. If so, we apply the solution template and hence solve the problem.
