Composite Pattern

Architecture & LLD Preview

Composite Pattern

Compose objects into tree structures to represent part-whole hierarchies. Let clients treat individual objects and compositions uniformly.

Composite pattern wraps files and folders under a single FileSystemNode interface, allowing clients to invoke actions uniformly.

Core Design Challenge

"How do we compute directory sizes recursively without writing distinct loops for files and folders?"

What You'll Learn:

  • Representing tree hierarchies of part-whole relationships
  • Executing uniform traversals over groups and leaf nodes
  • Treating individual objects and compositions uniformly
  • Simplifying recursive logic across nested structures
