Dp Strategy

In this tutorial, you'll learn about How to Fix Strategy Errors. We cover key concepts, practical examples, and best practices.

Fix strategy errors when conditional logic spread across code instead of encapsulated algorithms.

Quick Fix

Wrong

def process(order,method):
    if method=='credit':
        return f'Credit: {order}'
    elif method=='paypal':
        return f'PayPal: {order}'
    elif method=='crypto':
        return f'Crypto: {order}'

Adding payment method requires modifying process() function. Violates Open/Closed.

class PaymentStrategy:
    def pay(self,order): pass
class CreditCard(PaymentStrategy):
    def pay(self,order): return f'Credit: {order}'
class PayPal(PaymentStrategy):
    def pay(self,order): return f'PayPal: {order}'
class Crypto(PaymentStrategy):
    def pay(self,order): return f'Crypto: {order}'
def process(order,strategy):
    return strategy.pay(order)
process('$10',CreditCard())  # 'Credit: $10'
New payment methods added as new Strategy classes. No existing code modified.

Prevention

Strategy pattern encapsulates interchangeable algorithms behind common interface.

FAQ

What is Strategy?

Family of algorithms encapsulated in separate classes. Interchangeable at runtime.

When to use?

Multiple ways to do same thing (payment, sorting, compression, validation).

vs if/else?

Each algorithm in own class. Unit-testable independently. Open/Closed principle.
