Creational Design Patterns in Modern C++ - Basic Implementation with the Abstract Factory

The video tutorial explains the abstract factory design pattern, which allows for creating instances of classes without relying on their concrete types. It covers the implementation of abstract and concrete factories, the use of factory methods, and how to instantiate products from different sets. The tutorial emphasizes the pattern's ability to promote loose coupling and ensure that product instances belong to the same family. A class diagram illustrates the relationships between classes, and a real-world example demonstrates the pattern's practical application.

What is the purpose of creating an abstract factory in the context of the abstract factory design pattern?

Explain how concrete factories inherit from the abstract factory and their role in creating product instances.

What changes would be necessary to switch from using products from set one to set two in an application utilizing the abstract factory pattern?

How does the abstract factory design pattern promote loose coupling in code?

What are the advantages of using the abstract factory design pattern in software development?

In what way does the abstract factory design pattern ensure that product instances belong to the same family?

Describe the relationship between the client and the factories in the abstract factory design pattern.
