Concrete Decorators (MilkDecorator and SugarDecorator):?
Short answer: The MilkDecorator and SugarDecorator classes extend the CoffeeDecorator class and override the Cost() and Description() methods to add specific behavior (like adding the price of milk or sugar). MilkDecorator: public class MilkDecorator : CoffeeDecorator
Example code
{
public MilkDecorator(ICoffee coffee) : base(coffee) { }
public override double Cost() => base.Cost() + 0.50; // Add cost of milk public override string Description() => base.Description() + ", Milk"; // Add milk to description } SugarDecorator: public class SugarDecorator : CoffeeDecorator
{
public SugarDecorator(ICoffee coffee) : base(coffee) { }
public override double Cost() => base.Cost() + 0.25; // Add cost of sugar public override string Description() => base.Description() + ", Sugar"; // Add sugar to description }
Real-world example (ShopNest)
Logging and caching decorators wrap IProductRepository so core SQL code stays clean.
Say this in the interview
- Define — one clear sentence (the short answer above).
- Example — relate it to a project like ShopNest or your real work.
- Trade-off — when you would not use it.
