Ever wondered how to add new behavior to existing classes without modifying them? 🤔
Learn the Visitor Pattern—one of the most powerful design patterns in object-oriented programming.
Why should you care?
✅ Helps keep your core classes clean ✨
✅ Enables adding operations without modifying existing code 🔥
✅ Follows the Open-Closed Principle (OCP) in SOLID
Here’s a simple analogy: Imagine you own a mall 🏬. Customers (elements) visit the mall, and different staff members perform different tasks:
Security checks the customer’s ID 🛂
Sales staff offer discounts 🏷
Customer service gathers feedback 💬
Each staff member is like a Visitor, performing a specific operation without changing the customer! 🎯
