Creational Design Patterns in Modern C++ - Creational Patterns - Overview

The video tutorial introduces creational design patterns, which focus on object construction. It explains why using creational patterns can be beneficial over directly using 'new' for object creation, as they encapsulate the knowledge of object instantiation and provide flexibility. The tutorial covers several patterns: Singleton ensures a single instance; Factory Method creates instances without knowing their concrete type; Object Pool reuses instances; Abstract Factory creates instances from a specific family; Prototype clones existing objects; and Builder constructs complex objects step by step.

Describe the Abstract Factory pattern and how it differs from the Factory Method.

What is the purpose of the Builder pattern in object construction?
