Description

This PR implements theFactory Method Design Pattern in Java, addressing issue#3367.
The Factory Method pattern allows subclasses to decide which class to instantiate, improvingcode flexibility,reusability, andmaintainability.

Issue

• Problem: The repository requested a working example of the Factory Method pattern to demonstrate how a class can delegate object creation to subclasses.
• There was no concrete implementation for theBlacksmith & Weapon example, which was described in the issue.
• Without this, learners and contributors could not see apractical Java implementation of the pattern.

How This PR Resolves the Issue

• Created theBlacksmith interface with the factory methodmanufactureWeapon(WeaponType weaponType).
• Implementedconcrete factories:
  • ElfBlacksmith.java — creates Elven weapons
  • OrcBlacksmith.java — creates Orcish weapons
• CreatedWeapon.java andWeaponType.java to represent the product and its types
• AddedMain.java todemonstrate usage, showing that each blacksmith produces the correct weapons dynamically
• This implementation provides aworking, compilable, and testable example of the Factory Method pattern in Java

Key Highlights

• Subclasses decide the type of object to create
• Encapsulates object creation logic, improving maintainability
• Demonstratesreal-world analogy: Blacksmiths produce weapons according to their type
