Nov 17, 2015 at 19:00 comment added Robert Harvey @ArmonSafai: You're linking this blog post a lot, but you're not really explaining why. Are we all somehow ignorant of the pattern? We have Google too, just like you.
Nov 17, 2015 at 18:38 comment added amon Thanks for that info, this clears up a lot. That is definitively an example of a factory pattern, but not of the Abstract Factory Pattern commonly associated with factory patterns. The code in that article is quite questionable, and I would not expect to see anything like that in real code.

added in code for factory with conditionals. Since this is a small quotation, licensing should be OK.

Nov 17, 2015 at 10:34 comment added amon Which “factory pattern” are you referring to precisely? In general, a factory is any object or method that serves to instantiate an object. Then there are specific variations of this general idea such as the Abstract Factory Pattern, where each factory instance represents a specific palette of choices – usually managed via subclassing rather than conditionals.
