Adapter Design Pattern

Explore the adapter design pattern to understand how it enables incompatible interfaces to work together without altering existing code. Learn its purpose, structure, and practical use cases in C++ through real-world analogies and examples.

Overview

We often use adapters in real life. Suppose we traveled from the US to the UK with a laptop. Our charger won’t plug directly into the power outlet in the UK because they’re incompatible. We can solve this problem by placing an adapter between the plug and the power socket.
