Introduction

As software applications grow larger, creating objects directly using constructors can make the code difficult to maintain. Developers often need a flexible way to create objects without tightly coupling the code to specific classes.

The Factory Method Design Pattern solves this problem by providing an interface for creating objects while allowing subclasses or factory classes to decide which object should be instantiated.

What is the Factory Method Design Pattern?

The Factory Method is a Creational Design Pattern that creates objects without exposing the object creation logic to the client. Instead of using the new keyword throughout the program, object creation is delegated to a factory method.
