Structural Design Patterns in Modern C++ - Introduction to the Flyweight Pattern

The video tutorial discusses the Flyweight design pattern, a structural pattern used for memory optimization in object-oriented design. It explains how the pattern reduces memory usage by sharing common states among objects, known as intrinsic states, while keeping unique states, or extrinsic states, separate. An example is provided to illustrate how the Flyweight pattern can be applied to reduce memory consumption by sharing common attributes among multiple instances.
