→Adapter Design Pattern
== Adapter Design Pattern ==
Adapter, a Structural Patternand also referred to as a '''wrapper''', is most commonly used when you want to reuse a class to work with a target class but are constrained by incompatible interfaces. The idea is to convert the interface of a reusable class into an interface that ''your'' classes expect.
A good analogy for the Adapter pattern would be the adapter's commonly used to convert the voltage of Canadian/U.S made appliances to be used in different countries. In this case, the appliance ('''Target''') is using the adapter ('''Adapter''') to reuse the socket ('''Adaptee''').
