bridge pattern

Bridge pattern, a computer science design used to separate an abstraction and its actual implementation.

The bridge pattern is useful when both the class as well as what it does varies.

The bridge pattern can also be thought of as two layers of abstraction.

The bridge pattern is often confused with the adapter pattern.

This technique is described in Design Patterns as the Bridge pattern.

The Bridge pattern allows these two "separate class hierarchies to work together even as they evolve independently" (p. 54).

This is a Bridge pattern.

In fact, the bridge pattern is often implemented using the class adapter pattern, e.g. in the Java code below.

They might adopt similar structural scaffolding and the same disulfide bridge pattern as HWTX-II.

The bridge pattern is a design pattern used in software engineering which is meant to "decouple an abstraction from its implementation so that the two can vary independently".

Though the verse, chorus, and bridge pattern is present, the effect of the song is of one long, cohesive melodic line with a dramatic shifting of tempo.

The Bridge of Las Tres Fuentes (the three fountains) is a bridge pattern by disciples of Gustave Eiffel originally constructed in iron.

A common use of decoupling is to polymorphically decouple the encapsulation (see Bridge pattern and Adapter pattern) - for example, using a method interface that an encapsulated object must satisfy, as opposed to using the object's class.
