Course: Design Patterns (3481) Semester: Spring, 2021


Level: Bachelors Total Marks: 100
Pass Marks: 50
Assignment No. 1
(Units: 1-4)
Note: All questions carry equal marks.

Q. 1. (a) What is meant by the term “Design Pattern”? How design Patterns
solve design Problems. Explain t he concept in detail with the help of
proper examples.
(b) How are design patterns different from Algorithms and Data
Structure? Explain it with the help of suitable example.
(20)
Q. 2. Answer the following Question properly: (20)
There are two methods for propagating data to observers with the observer
design pattern: the push model and the pull model. Why would one model
be preferable over the other? What are the trade-offs of each model?

Q. 3. Differentiate the following terms: (20)


 Creational Pattern and Structural Pattern
 Composite and Decorator

Q. 4. Explain the relationship between commonality/variability analysis and the


three perspectives of looking at a problem. Why is it better to start out
focusing on motivations rather than on implementation? Give an example
where this has helped you. (20)

Q. 1. What are the three fundamental principles proposed by the Gang of Four
that guides how to anticipate change? What are the basic elements of a
sequence diagram? (20)

Q. 2. What is Alexander’s view of how to use patterns? Does he advocate


starting with the solution first or the problem to be solved first? Why this
pattern is called “Abstract Factory”? (20)

Q.3 (a) Differentiate the following terms:


 Mediator and Memento

detail with the help of proper examples.

Q. 4. How does the Factory Method pattern fit in with other factories? As you
learn patterns, what five forces and concepts do I urge you to look for? Can
any design solution be considered a design Pattern? (20)

At the end of the course the students are expected to be able to:
1. Illustrate what is pattern and how patterns are design using various techniques.
2. Demonstrate the understanding of Design Patterns in Software development domain.
3. Learn how to select a design pattern appropriate for a particular design problem.
