Creational Design Patterns in Modern C++ - Basic Implementation - Part I

The video tutorial introduces the factory method design pattern, demonstrating its use in simplifying object creation. It begins with setting up a project and creating a product hierarchy with a base class and a concrete product class. The tutorial then implements a creator class that uses these product classes. It highlights the problem of hardcoding object creation and suggests using the factory method to address this issue. The video concludes by setting the stage for implementing the factory method in the next tutorial.

Describe the problem that arises when the creator class is hardcoded to a specific concrete product.

What changes would you implement to allow the creator to use different concrete products without modifying existing code?
