# Bridge Design Pattern — Java Example

**Pattern:** Structural → Bridge
**Article:** https://ankurm.com/bridge-design-pattern-java/

## What this example shows

Decouples remote controls (Abstraction) from devices (Implementation). A basic remote and an advanced remote each work with any device (TV, Radio) without creating N×M subclasses.

## How to run

```bash
javac bridge/*.java -d out/bridge
java -cp out/bridge bridge.Main
```

Requires Java 25.

| Post Section | File(s) |
|---|---|
| Step 1 — The Implementor Interface | `Device.java` |
| Step 2 — Concrete Implementors (TV and Radio) | `TV.java`, `Radio.java` |
| Step 3 — The Abstraction (RemoteControl) | `RemoteControl.java` |
| Step 4 — Refined Abstraction (AdvancedRemote) | `AdvancedRemote.java` |
| Wiring It Together: Main Demo | `Main.java` |
