How important are design patterns in software development?
Sure, can you explain the Factory pattern in more detail?
The Factory pattern is a creational pattern designed to provide an interface for creating objects of a specific type, without exposing the creation logic. This pattern is often used when a class cannot anticipate the type of objects it needs to create during runtime. By delegating the object creation to a factory class, the client code can remain independent of the object creation details.
