Topic: Design Patterns
Focus: Strategy Pattern
Java: Strategy Pattern
Answer
By allowing new strategies without modifying existing code.
The Open/Closed Principle states that software entities should be open for extension but closed for modification. The Strategy Pattern supports this by letting developers add new algorithms through new strategy classes without altering existing code. For example, adding a new shipping calculation method involves creating a new class rather than editing the existing logic.
