Design Pattern: Strategy
Tailoring Algorithms to Your Needs
The Strategy pattem is a type of behavioral pattern that encapsulates different algorithms or strategies in
separate objects called **Strategies*. These objects are interchangeable and allow the client code to vary
independently from the strategies
Imagine a scenario where you need to sorta ist of data. Initially, you right use a simple bubble sort
algorithm. However, as your dataset grows, you may need to switch to a more efficient sorting method like
quicksort, The Strategy pattern elegantly addresses this situation
Encapsulating Algorithms with Strategy.
The core of this pattern les in encapsulating algorithms within independent objects, called strategies. These
strategies define specific sorting behaviors. The beauty lies in how the context, the object that needs to sort
the data, remains decoupled from the sorting algorithms
Example in Delphi
type
IStrategy = interface
('(9F82FD45-F47A-4F67-9060-55863D71D56A)')
procedure Algorithm,
end
ConcretestrategyA = class(TinterfacedObject, Strategy)

public
procedure Algorithm,
end;
TConcreteStrategy8 = class(TinterfacedObject, Strategy)
public
procedure Algorithm,
end,
Int
example, IStrategy is the strategy interface, and TConcreteStrategyA and TConcreteStrategy8 are
concrete strategies implementing the IStrategy interface. Each concrete strategy encapsulates an algorithm
Key Benefits:
- Flexibility: Algorithms can be swapped dynamically without altering the context
- Maintainability: Strategies are isolated, making code easier to understand and modify.
~ Reusabilty: Strategies can be reused across different contexts
Embrace the Power of Strategies
The Strategy pattern empowers you to write flexible, maintainable, and reusable Delphi code. It's an
invaluable tool for any Delphi developer's arsenal
Remember, the key benefit of the Strategy patter is that it promotes code reusability and flexibility by
separating behavior from super and subclasses
