Factory Method Design Pattern

Step I - Create the interfaces of product.
// A Simple Interface
public interface iCalc {
int ReturnResult(int arg1, int arg2);
}
Step II - Create concrete product classes which will
inherit the product interface.
public class Sum: iCalc {
public int ReturnResult(int arg1, int arg2) {
return (arg1 + arg2);
}
}
public class Difference: iCalc {
public int ReturnResult(int arg1, int arg2) {
return (arg1 - arg2);
}
}
public class Multiplication: iCalc {
public int ReturnResult(int arg1, int arg2) {
return (arg1 * arg2);
}
}
public class Division: iCalc {
public int ReturnResult(int arg1, int arg2) {
return Convert.ToInt32(arg1 / arg2);
}
}
Step III - Create a class for factory that contains the method
that will return the product interface
public enum CalculationType {
Sum,
Difference,
Multiplication,
Division
}
public class Calculator {
public static iCalc CreateOperation(CalculationType oCalculationType) {
if (oCalculationType == CalculationType.Sum) {
return new Sum();
}
else if (oCalculationType == CalculationType.Difference) {
return new Difference();
}
else if (oCalculationType == CalculationType.Multiplication) {
return new Multiplication();
}
else if (oCalculationType == CalculationType.Division) {
return new Division();
}
else {
throw new ApplicationException("Problem Occurs");
}
}
}
Step IV - Finally use the factory class to get the product
iCalc x = Calculator. CreateOperation(CalculationType.Sum);
int abc = x.ReturnResult(1, 2)
