🧩 Structural Patterns Project

A clean and practical implementation of the seven classic Structural Design Patterns (Adapter, Bridge, Composite, Decorator, Facade, Flyweight, Proxy) in C#.
Built to demonstrate how to assemble objects and classes into flexible, maintainable structures.

This project reflects my ability to apply software-design best practices to real-world code, writing modular, reusable, and scalable solutions.

🧠 Why Structural Patterns?

Structural patterns help organize relationships between objects, allowing developers to:

• Simplify complex class architectures
• Reuse code more effectively
• Adapt interfaces or hide system complexity :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
• Improve performance (e.g., memory sharing in Flyweight) :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

🧱 Implemented Patterns

Each pattern is implemented with a small demo illustrating:

1. Adapter – Wrapping incompatible interfaces
2. Bridge – Decoupling abstraction and implementation
3. Composite – Managing object trees uniformly
4. Decorator – Dynamically extending behavior
5. Facade – Simplifying a subsystem's interface
6. Flyweight – Sharing common state for performance
7. Proxy – Controlling access to an object

🛠 Tech Stack

• Language: C# (.NET Core)
• Structure:
  • Individual folders for each pattern
  • Interface + implementation + demo for each
• Approach: Clear naming, SOLID principles, minimal dependencies
• Testing & Demos: Console-based examples showcase usage
