Strategy Pattern Example

This repository contains a simple C# implementation of the Strategy Pattern.

Overview

The Strategy Pattern is a behavioral design pattern that enables selecting an algorithm at runtime from a family of algorithms. It defines a family of algorithms, encapsulates each one of them, and makes them interchangeable. By using the Strategy Pattern, the algorithm can vary independently from the client that uses it. A client can select an algorithm from a set of algorithms dynamically at runtime. This pattern also provides a simple way to use the selected algorithm. You know that an object can have states and behaviors. And some of these behaviors may vary among the objects of a class. This pattern focuses on the changing behaviors that can be associated with an object at a specific time.

In this example, we demonstrate the Strategy Pattern by implementing a discount system for a customer based on their total sales amount. The discount strategies vary based on predefined thresholds of total sales amounts.

Implementation

• IDiscountStrategy: Interface defining the strategy for applying discounts.
• NoDiscountStrategy, LowDiscountStrategy, MediumDiscountStrategy, HighDiscountStrategy: Concrete implementations of the discount strategies.
• CustomerDiscountContext: Context class that uses the selected discount strategy to apply discounts based on the total sales amount.
• Program.cs: Main program demonstrating how to use the Strategy Pattern to apply discounts.

How to Use

1. Clone the repository:

# git clone https://github.com/stevsharp/StrategyPattern.git

# 2 .Open the solution in your preferred C# IDE.
Run the program and observe the output, which demonstrates different discount strategies applied based on the total sales amount.
