Behavioral Design Patterns in C++ - Introduction-Visitor

The video tutorial explains the visitor design pattern, which allows adding new behaviors to classes without modifying them. It addresses the problem of adding operations to a class hierarchy with different attributes and interfaces. The visitor pattern introduces a separate hierarchy of visitor classes, each representing a new operation. Classes in the hierarchy accept a visitor object, which performs operations on their state. This approach maintains the open-closed principle, enabling flexible and extensible design. The tutorial covers the intent, class diagram, and implementation details, including the use of iterators for traversal.
