Command

The Command pattern is a behavioral design pattern that encapsulates a request as an object, thereby allowing for parameterization of clients with queues, requests, and operations. This pattern decouples the sender and receiver of a request, enabling more flexible and reusable code. The Command pattern is particularly useful in implementing undo/redo functionality, logging changes, and supporting transactional operations. By using the Command pattern, developers can design systems that are easier to extend and maintain, as well as promote the separation of concerns.
