Algorithms, Frameworks, and Design Patterns
Learn about the differences between algorithms, design patterns, and frameworks.
Design patterns and algorithms
We’ve already defined design patterns as “a general reusable solution to a common software design problem.” In contrast, algorithms are defined as “a set of concrete well-known instructions used to solve a problem.”
Differences between design patterns and algorithms
- A design pattern, as is obvious from the name, is about designing a solution. Algorithms, on the other hand, are a concrete solution.
- Design patterns are blueprints that we use to solve problems at the design level while focusing on flexibility and maintenance. Algorithms are the concrete steps we take, focusing on correctness and
