print("Welcome!")In software engineering, behavioral design patterns are design patterns that identify common communication patterns between objects and realize these patterns. By doing so, these patterns increase flexibility in carrying out this communication.

The chain of responsibility pattern is used to process varied requests, each of which may be dealt with by a different handler.

}The mediator pattern is used to reduce coupling between classes that communicate with each other. Instead of classes communicating directly, and thus requiring knowledge of their implementation, the classes send messages via a mediator object.
protocol Receiver {

}
protocol Sender {

}

let user0 = Programmer(name: "Linus Torvalds")
let user1 = Programmer(name: "Avadis 'Avie' Tevanian")
messagesMediator.add(recipient: user0)
messagesMediator.add(recipient: user1)
spamMonster(message: "I'd Like to Add you to My Professional Network", worker: messagesMediator)The memento pattern is used to capture the current state of an object and store it in such a manner that it can be restored at a later time without breaking the rules of encapsulation.
typealias Memento = [String: String]Originator

if let memento = CheckPoint.restore(saveName: "gameState1") as? Memento {
let finalState = GameState(memento: memento)
dump(finalState)
}The observer pattern is used to allow an object to publish changes to its state. Other objects subscribe to be immediately notified of any changes.
protocol PropertyObserver : class {
func willChange(propertyName: String, newPropertyValue: Any?)
func didChange(propertyName: String, oldPropertyValue: Any?)
}
final class TestChambers {

private let testChamberNumberName = "testChamberNumber"
var testChamberNumber: Int = 0 {

}
didSet {
observer?.didChange(propertyName: testChamberNumberName, oldPropertyValue: oldValue)
}
}
}
final class Observer : PropertyObserver {
func willChange(propertyName: String, newPropertyValue: Any?) {
if newPropertyValue as? Int == 1 {
print("Okay. Look. We both said a lot of things that you're going to regret.")
}
}
func didChange(propertyName: String, oldPropertyValue: Any?) {
if oldPropertyValue as? Int == 0 {
print("Sorry about the mess. I've really let the place go since you killed me.")
}
}
}var observerInstance = Observer()
var testChambers = TestChambers()
testChambers.observer = observerInstance
testChambers.testChamberNumber += 1The state pattern is used to alter the behaviour of an object as its internal state changes. The pattern allows the class for an object to apparently change at run-time.
final class Context {
private var state: State = UnauthorizedState()
var isAuthorized: Bool {
get { return state.isAuthorized(context: self) }
}
var userId: String? {

}
func changeStateToAuthorized(userId: String) {
state = AuthorizedState(userId: userId)
}

}
protocol State {
func isAuthorized(context: Context) -> Bool
func userId(context: Context) -> String?

func userId(context: Context) -> String? { return userId }
}let userContext = Context()
(userContext.isAuthorized, userContext.userId)
userContext.changeStateToAuthorized(userId: "admin")
(userContext.isAuthorized, userContext.userId) // now logged in as "admin"
userContext.changeStateToUnauthorized()
(userContext.isAuthorized, userContext.userId)The strategy pattern is used to create an interchangeable family of algorithms from which the required process is chosen at run-time.

let isRachelAndroid = deckard.testIfAndroid(rachel)
// Gaff is using a very precise method
let gaff = BladeRunner(test: GeneticTest())
let isDeckardAndroid = gaff.testIfAndroid(rachel)The visitor pattern is used to separate a relatively complex set of structured data classes from the functionality that may be performed upon the data that they hold.

namesIn software engineering, creational design patterns are design patterns that deal with object creation mechanisms, trying to create objects in a manner suitable to the situation. The basic form of object creation could result in design problems or added complexity to the design. Creational design patterns solve this problem by somehow controlling this object creation.

The abstract factory pattern is used to provide a client with a set of related or dependant objects. The "family" of objects created by the factory are determined at run-time.

let jackInTheBox = BurgerFactoryType.jackInTheBox.make()The builder pattern is used to create complex objects with constituent parts that must be created in the same order or using a specific algorithm. An external class controls the construction algorithm.
final class DeathStarBuilder {

builder.x = 0.1

}
let deathStar = DeathStar(builder:empire)The factory pattern is used to replace class constructors, abstracting the process of object generation so that the type of the object instantiated can be determined at run-time.

CurrencyFactory.currency(for: .spain)?.code ?? noCurrencyCode
CurrencyFactory.currency(for: .unitedStates)?.code ?? noCurrencyCode
CurrencyFactory.currency(for: .uk)?.code ?? noCurrencyCodeThe prototype pattern is used to instantiate a new object by copying all of the properties of an existing object, creating an independent clone. This practise is particularly useful when the construction of a new object is inefficient.
struct MoonWorker {
let name: String
var health: Int = 100
init(name: String) {

}
func clone() -> MoonWorker {

var bell1 = prototype.clone()
bell1.health = 12
var bell2 = prototype.clone()
bell2.health = 23
var bell3 = prototype.clone()
bell3.health = 0The singleton pattern ensures that only one object of a particular class is ever created. All further references to objects of the singleton class refer to the same underlying instance. There are very few applications, do not overuse this pattern!
final class ElonMusk {
