Structural Design Patterns in Modern C++ - Console Project - Part II

The lecture discusses the use of the Win32 API for coloring text on the console and highlights the issues with relying on low-level C APIs, such as platform dependency and increased complexity. It suggests using the facade design pattern to provide an object-oriented interface, reducing dependency and complexity.

What challenges arise when trying to use different operating system APIs?

In what ways can preprocessor directives complicate an application?

What are the main issues with using low-level C APIs in application development?

Why is it difficult to extend the functionality of non-object-oriented APIs?

How does the facade design pattern help in reducing application complexity?
