Objective 🎯

Simplify the construction of complex objects by creating it step by step.

Type ✅

❌Behavioral: Describes how objects interact/communicate between themselves.

✔️Creational: Describes how to instantiate an object without large and complex.

❌Structural: Describes how objects/classes are composed to form larger structures.

Participants 🔗

• Builder:

• Specify an abstract interface for creating parts of a Product object

• ConcreteBuilder:

• Constructs and assembles parts of the Product by implementing the Builder interface
• Provides an interface for retrieving the product

• Director:

• Constructs an object using the Builder interface

• Product:

• Represents the complex object under construction
• May include other classes to represent its parts

Structural Example 🏛️

public static class BuilderStructural
    {
        public static void Execute()
        {
            Director lDirector = new Director();

            // Using Builder 1

            lDirector.Construct(lConcreteBuilder1);             // Build Product
            Product lProduct1 = lConcreteBuilder1.GetResult();  // Get Product
            Console.WriteLine("Builder 1 - Product Result: ");
            lProduct1.Show();

            // Using Builder 2
            Builder lConcreteBuilder2 = new ConcreteBuilder2(); // Define Builder
            lDirector.Construct(lConcreteBuilder2);             // Build Product

        }

        public override Product GetResult()
        {
            return _Product;
        }
    }

    public class Product

        public void Add(string prPart)
        {
