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

The video tutorial explains the adapter design pattern, which is used to convert incompatible interfaces into compatible ones. It discusses two main types of adapter patterns: object adapter and class adapter. The object adapter uses composition to achieve interface compatibility, while the class adapter uses inheritance. The tutorial highlights the purpose of the adapter pattern in enabling the reuse of existing components without modifying their source code, and it provides a brief overview of how to implement these patterns in code.

How does the adapter pattern help in reusing existing components?
