easy🔍 Pattern Recognition Q2 of Q15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Analyze each option
Options A, B, and D describe cloning or copying objects, which Prototype Pattern addresses. Constructing complex objects step-by-step with varying configurations describes stepwise construction, which is Builder Pattern's domain.Step 2: Identify the anti-pattern
Constructing complex objects step-by-step is not solved by Prototype Pattern but by Builder Pattern.Final Answer:
Option D -> Option DQuick Check:
Builder Pattern handles stepwise construction, not Prototype -> [OK]
Quick Trick: Stepwise construction is Builder, not Prototype [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Confusing Builder with Prototype
- Assuming Prototype handles all object creation
Trap Explanation:
PITFALL- Candidates often think Prototype handles all object creation, missing Builder's role.
Interviewer Note:
CONTEXT- Checks anti-pattern recognition and pattern boundaries.
