Design Patterns

Design patterns are reusable solutions to common design problems in software development. They provide a way to standardize and organize code, making it more maintainable and scalable. In the context of the payment app, we can utilize various design patterns to improve the overall design and architecture.

One commonly used design pattern in the payment app is the Factory Method pattern. This pattern provides an interface for creating instances of a class, allowing subclasses to decide which class to instantiate. By using the Factory Method pattern, we can decouple the client code from the specific implementation of payment methods.

Here's an example of how the Factory Method pattern can be implemented in Java:

1interface PaymentMethod {
2  void pay(double amount);
3}
4
5class CreditCardPayment implements PaymentMethod {
6  public void pay(double amount) {
7    System.out.println("Paying with credit card: " + amount);
8  }
9}
10
11class DigitalWalletPayment implements PaymentMethod {
12  public void pay(double amount) {
13    System.out.println("Paying with digital wallet: " + amount);
14  }
15}
16
17class PaymentMethodFactory {
18  public static PaymentMethod createPaymentMethod(String type) {
19    switch (type) {
20      case "credit card":
21        return new CreditCardPayment();
22      case "digital wallet":
23        return new DigitalWalletPayment();
24      default:
25        throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid payment method type");
26    }
27  }
28}
29
30public class Main {
31  public static void main(String[] args) {
32    // Create a credit card payment method
33    PaymentMethod creditCardPayment = PaymentMethodFactory.createPaymentMethod("credit card");
34    creditCardPayment.pay(50.0);
35
36    // Create a digital wallet payment method
37    PaymentMethod digitalWalletPayment = PaymentMethodFactory.createPaymentMethod("digital wallet");
38    digitalWalletPayment.pay(100.0);
39  }
40}

In this example, we define an interface PaymentMethod that includes a pay method. We then implement this interface with two concrete classes: CreditCardPayment and DigitalWalletPayment. The PaymentMethodFactory class serves as the factory for creating instances of the payment methods based on the given type.

By utilizing the Factory Method pattern, we can easily add new payment methods in the future without modifying the client code. This helps promote flexibility and maintainability in the design of the payment app.

class Main {

  public static void main(String[] args) {

    // Replace with your Java logic here

    System.out.println("Hello, World!");

  }
