# Abstract Factory and Factory Method Design Patterns
This is a very basic toy app to demonstrate Factory design patterns

## Abstract Factory
**Definition** “Provide an interface to create families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes.”
* Also known as Factory of factories, Super factory, Kit
* Encapsulates mechanism that creates related concrete classes
* Helps to enforce usage rules for related components
* Generally makes use of the Factory Method Pattern

## Factory Method
**Definition** “Define an interface for creating an object, but let subclasses decide which class to instantiate.”
* Key characteristics:
  * Creates a new object
  * Returns a type that is an abstract class or an interface
  * It's implemented by several classes
* A common example is the `iterator()` method in Java, which fulfills all three key characteristics above
