FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -The abstract factory pattern in software engineering is a design that provides a way to create families of related objects without imposing their concrete classes, by encapsulating a group of individual factories that have a common theme without specifying their concrete classes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract Factory provides interfaces for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes. Client software creates a concrete implementation of the abstract factory and then uses the generic interfaces to create the concrete objects that are part of the family of objects.

Detailed explanation-3: -Factory Method pattern is responsible for creating products that belong to one family, while Abstract Factory pattern deals with multiple families of products. Factory Method uses interfaces and abstract classes to decouple the client from the generator class and the resulting products.

Detailed explanation-4: -Abstract Factory design pattern provides approach to code for interface rather than implementation. Abstract Factory pattern is “factory of factories” and can be easily extended to accommodate more products, for example we can add another sub-class Laptop and a factory LaptopFactory.

Detailed explanation-5: -While factory method abstracts the way objects are created, abstract factory abstracts how the factories are created. The factories in turn abstracts the way objects are created. You will often hear the abstract factory design pattern referred to as a “factory of factories“.
