CommandPatternLambda.java

/*
 * This program implements the Command design pattern the following way:
 * A simple prgram with a Remote Controller that makes a lightbulb turn on and off.
 * The idea is to make it as less coupled as possible, and to be able to have freedom
 * working with the functions in different ways.
 * Based on https://dzone.com/articles/design-patterns-command and 
 * https://github.com/kamranahmedse/design-patterns-for-humans
 */


/*
 * This is the main class to execute the program. It corresponds to the Client that uses
 * the Invoker (RemoteController) to use the Receiver's (Lightbulb) actions through Commands.
 * It also creates Commands, Receiver, and Invoker, setting them appropriately
 */

 * This interface generalizes the Command objects that encapsulate and handle function

 * execute (perform the implementation-specific logic), redo (perform last action again),
 * and undo (to reverse the execution of the last action)
