🕐 <a href="https://hyperskill.org/learn/step/16430">Factory method </a>is a pattern that creates an interface or abstract class that also allows for modification of object creation in subclasses. It is best used when the developer doesn’t know beforehand the exact types and dependencies of the objects the code should work with.

🕐 <a href="https://hyperskill.org/learn/step/16469">Singleton </a>is a pattern that creates only one instance of an object while providing a point of global access to this instance. This pattern should be implemented when a class in the program has only a single instance available to all clients.

🕐 <a href="https://hyperskill.org/learn/step/16430">Prototype </a>is a pattern based on the concept of copying an existing object for creating a new one. It is used to reduce the number of subclasses that differ only in the way they initialize their objects.

🕐 <a href="https://hyperskill.org/learn/step/16735">Builder </a>is a pattern that lets developers design complex objects by using simple objects via a step-by-step approach. This allows creating different modified variations of the same object.

🕐 <a href="https://hyperskill.org/learn/step/17108">Abstract factory </a>is a pattern that produces sets of related objects. In its simplest form, it could be a set of factories that allows developers to produce parts of object sets.

They are not as straightforward as code snippets that can be directly transferred to the program. Instead, they present a generalized strategy that developers can apply to solve issues when designing software. The goal of design patterns is to speed up the development process, so it is quite important to learn about commonly used program structures and problems that can arise during the design process.Creational design patterns focus on object creation. Using them allows developers to implement a well-known solution instead of reinventing it from the ground up. At JetBrains Academy, you can get an introduction to design patterns and learn five types of the most common creational patterns in just 1 hour.
