(C++) Strategy (Design Pattern)

The Strategy Design Pattern 'defines a family of algorithms, encapsulates each one, and makes them interchangeable. Strategy lets the algorithm vary independently from the clients that use it' [1].

You can also employ a compile-time Strategy Design Pattern.

Examples

• Example 'StrToDouble'
• Example from 'Head First Design Patterns' [2]
