Structural Design Patterns in Modern C++ - Composite Intent and Implementation Overview

The video tutorial explains the composite design pattern, which allows clients to treat individual objects and compositions uniformly. It covers the structure of the pattern, including components like the base class and leaf class, and discusses methods and operations. The tutorial also addresses data structures for efficiency and considerations for garbage collection in different programming languages.

What is the essence of the composite pattern?

How does the composite pattern allow clients to treat individual objects and compositions?

What is the role of the component class in the composite pattern?

Describe how a composite can implement a data structure to hold different kinds of components.

What challenges does the composite pattern face in languages without garbage collection?
