Creational Design Patterns in Modern C++ - Pros and Cons - highlights the pros and cons of this pattern 2

The video tutorial explains the builder pattern, a design pattern used to construct complex objects in steps. It highlights the role of a director and different builders in the construction process, allowing for various object types or representations. A modern implementation of the builder pattern is discussed, which simplifies code by eliminating the need for a director and using a nested builder class. The tutorial outlines the advantages of the builder pattern, such as hiding internal representation and encapsulating the assembly process, while also noting its potential to increase code complexity. Various use cases for the builder pattern are presented, including reducing the number of constructors and separating construction algorithms.
