Behavioral Design Patterns in C++ - Introduction-Template Method

The video tutorial explains the template method design pattern, which defines a blueprint for algorithms that can be customized by clients. It highlights the use of hooks for customization, compares it with the strategy pattern, and details its structure. The Hollywood principle is discussed, emphasizing the control the base class has over the algorithm. Guidelines for implementing the template method are provided, ensuring minimal operations need to be overridden by subclasses.

What does the term 'template' refer to in the context of the template method design pattern?

What role do hooks play in the template method design pattern?

How does the template method pattern allow for customization of an algorithm?

What is the difference between the template method pattern and the strategy pattern?

What are the characteristics of the operations defined in the base class of the template method?

Explain the concept of the Hollywood principle in relation to the template method pattern.

How can subclasses identify which operations should be overwritten in the template method?
