Adapter pattern and the related patterns (Bridge, Decorator, Facade)
The adapter design pattern allows the user to make changes to the existing class with other class libraries without changing the code for the existing class. The Bridge, Decorator and the Facade pattern look somewhat similar to the adapter pattern but their intent is different and that intent is what separates the above patterns from each other.
Adapter Pattern
Adapter pattern plays an important role when you want to incompatible interfaces to work together.The real world example for an adapter pattern is the travel power adapter.Different countries have different socket and plug configuration. So you can use an adapter to fit a plug into a socket that initially was not possible due to different interface designs.
