The more abstract, the less complex the coding structure. As a result, algorithms are easier to understand and more manageable. This paper advocates teaching the above design patterns in data structures courses. Introduction Seasoned software developers do not write programs from scratch. They always look for patterns that best match the context of the problem they are trying to solve, and apply them to designing their software.
Design patterns are design solutions to recurring problems in software construction.
Design patterns are often misconstrued as applicable only to programming in the large. In reality, they can be applied to solving problems in programming in the small such as implementing data structures. We assume the reader is familiar with the concepts of object-orientation and data structures. Perhaps less well known are the design patterns. Their usefulness and their relevance are most apparent when they are presented in the context of design problems and the solutions they offer.
