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
javac bridge/*.java -d out/bridge
java -cp out/bridge bridge.Main
Requires Java 25.
