Prototype: Implementation and Example

Explore the Prototype design pattern by creating a C# console application that demonstrates cloning objects. Understand how to implement an ICloneable interface and use the MemberwiseClone method to create consistent duplicates of objects with immutable properties.

Creating a console application

To demonstrate the Prototype design pattern, we’ll create a .NET console application project.

When using Prototype, it would be a good practice to create an interface that we’d want any cloneable class to implement. This will make all cloneable types behave consistently. So, we’ll add the ICloneable.cs ...
