Behavioral Design Patterns in C++ - Containers - I (Array)

The lecture discusses implementing the iterator design pattern in C, starting with an example of creating Array and List containers. It explains how to traverse these containers without using iterators, highlighting the pros and cons. The lecture then focuses on implementing a dynamic array, detailing memory allocation and growth strategies, while acknowledging inefficiencies. The session concludes with a discussion on missing features and a preview of the next lecture on linked lists.

What is the purpose of the iterator design pattern as discussed in the lecture?

Describe the differences between the Array class and the List class as mentioned in the lecture.

What are the pros and cons of implementing traversal without using the iterator pattern?

Explain the process of growing the dynamic array as described in the lecture.

What should be considered when implementing a dynamic array to reduce reallocations?
