Behavioral Design Patterns in C++ - Dynamic Array - III

The video tutorial discusses modifying a class to apply locks conditionally based on whether it is used in a single-threaded or multi-threaded application. It introduces a boolean to control locking, highlights challenges with the current implementation, and suggests using the strategy pattern for flexibility. The strategy pattern allows for different mutex types and improves code readability and maintainability.

What modifications are suggested for the class to handle locks in single-threaded applications?

Explain the role of the boolean variable in deciding whether to apply locks.

How does the implementation of a mutable mutex help in constant member functions?

What are the benefits of allowing clients to control the thread safety of the array class?

What issues arise from having conditional statements for locking and unlocking in the implementation?

Discuss the potential problems of forgetting to unlock in any of the methods.

What is the strategy pattern and how can it be applied to improve the locking mechanism?
