Learn Behavioural Design Patterns in Java

Chain of Responsibility is a behavioral design pattern that lets you avoid coupling the sender of a request to its receiver by giving more than one object a chance to handle the request. Chain the receiving objects and pass the request along the chain until an object handles it.

Command is a behavioral design pattern that lets you turn a request into stand-alone object, which can be used to parametrize objects with different requests, queue or log requests, and support undoable operations. 

Iterator is a behavioral design pattern that lets you access the elements of an aggregate object sequentially without exposing its underlying representation. 

Mediator is a behavioral design pattern that lets you define an object that encapsulates relations between a set of objects to make them independent of each other. 

Observer is a behavioral design pattern that lets you define a one-to-many dependency between objects so that when one object changes state, all its dependents are notified and updated automatically. 

State is a behavioral design pattern that allows an object to alter its behavior when its internal state changes. The object will appear to change its class.

Strategy is a behavioral design pattern that lets you define a family of algorithms, encapsulate each one, and make them interchangeable. Strategy lets the algorithm vary independently from the clients that use it.

Template Method is a behavioral design pattern that lets you define the skeleton of an algorithm and allow sub-classes to redefine certain steps of the algorithm without changing its structure.

Visitor is a behavioral design pattern that lets you define a new operation without changing the classes of the objects on which it operates.
