The Strategy Pattern in Static and Dynamic Languages
The Strategy pattern is a common design pattern that defines algorithms into familial groupings. It encapsulates the individual algorithms and makes those algorithms interchangeable. Strategy allows the algorithms to differ autonomously from the clients who use them. (1)
Static Languages
The use of the Strategy design pattern in static languages requires the relations between classes and interfaces to be referenced by uses and inherits statements. (2)
Dynamic Languages
