Composite

Explore the composite pattern, a structural design technique for managing objects composed of other objects in a tree hierarchy. Understand how to treat individual and grouped objects uniformly, using a practical example of product groups with discounts in Python. This lesson helps you implement scalable and maintainable designs by delegating responsibilities across composed objects.

The composite pattern is a structural design pattern.

There will be parts of our programs that require us to work with objects that are made out of other objects. We have base objects that have a well-defined logic, and then we will have other container objects that will group a bunch of base objects, and the challenge is that we want to treat both of them (the base and container objects) ...
