1 // Template Method 2 3 // Intent: "Define the skeleton of an algorithm in an operation, deferring 4 // some steps to subclasses. Template Method lets subclasses redefine 5 // certain steps of an algorithm without changing the algorithm's structure." 6 7 // For further information, read "Design Patterns", p325, Gamma et al., 8 // Addison-Wesley, ISBN:0-201-63361-2 9 10 /**//* Notes: 11 * If you have an algorithm with multiple steps, and it could be helpful 12 * to make some of those steps replaceable, but no the entire algorithm, then 13 * use the Template method. 14 * 15 * If the programming language in use supports generics / templates (C# does 16 * not), then they could be used here. It would be educational to take a 17 * good look at the way algorithms in ISO C++'s STL work. 18 */ 19 20 namespace TemplateMethod_DesignPattern 21  { 22 using System; 23 24 class Algorithm 25 { 26 public void DoAlgorithm() 27 { 28 Console.WriteLine("In DoAlgorithm"); 29 30 // do some part of the algorithm here 31 32 // step1 goes here 33 Console.WriteLine("In Algorithm - DoAlgoStep1"); 34 // . . . 35 36 // step 2 goes here 37 Console.WriteLine("In Algorithm - DoAlgoStep2"); 38 // . . . 39 40 // Now call configurable/replacable part 41 DoAlgoStep3(); 42 43 // step 4 goes here 44 Console.WriteLine("In Algorithm - DoAlgoStep4"); 45 // . . . 46 47 // Now call next configurable part 48 DoAlgoStep5(); 49 } 50 51 virtual public void DoAlgoStep3() 52 { 53 Console.WriteLine("In Algorithm - DoAlgoStep3"); 54 } 55 56 virtual public void DoAlgoStep5() 57 { 58 Console.WriteLine("In Algorithm - DoAlgoStep5"); 59 } 60 } 61 62 class CustomAlgorithm : Algorithm 63 { 64 public override void DoAlgoStep3() 65 { 66 Console.WriteLine("In CustomAlgorithm - DoAlgoStep3"); 67 } 68 69 public override void DoAlgoStep5() 70 { 71 Console.WriteLine("In CustomAlgorithm - DoAlgoStep5"); 72 } 73 } 74 75 /**//// <summary> 76 /// Summary description for Client. 77 /// </summary> 78 public class Client 79 { 80 public static int Main(string[] args) 81 { 82 CustomAlgorithm c = new CustomAlgorithm(); 83 84 c.DoAlgorithm(); 85 86 return 0; 87 } 88 } 89 } 90 |
