Visitor: sync post code blocks to repo exactly (post used a completely different design - return-value visitors vs repo's void/print-in-place visitors, different Triangle model), split merged Circle/Rectangle/Triangle and AreaCalculator/PerimeterCalculator blocks, Java 25, H6 file labels, fix stale console output, README mapping

# Visitor Design Pattern — Java Example
|
||||
|
||||
**Pattern:** Behavioral → Visitor
|
||||
**Article:** https://ankurm.com/visitor-design-pattern-java/
|
||||
|
||||
## What this example shows
|
||||
|
||||
A shape hierarchy that never changes, with operations added as separate visitor classes instead of methods on each shape. `ShapeVisitor` declares one `visit()` overload per concrete type. `Shape` declares `accept(ShapeVisitor)` — the double-dispatch trick: the shape hands itself to the visitor as a concretely-typed `this`, so overload resolution picks the right `visit()` method with no `instanceof` checks anywhere. `Circle`, `Rectangle`, and `Triangle` are plain data holders that know nothing about area or perimeter. `AreaCalculator` and `PerimeterCalculator` are two concrete visitors — adding the second one required zero changes to any shape class. `Main` runs both visitors across the same three shapes.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to run
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
javac visitor/*.java -d out/visitor
|
||||
java -cp out/visitor visitor.Main
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Requires Java 25.
