The Façade Pattern | More Design Patterns

Table of contents:

1.	How can a creational pattern help manage object destruction?
2.	How can properties help us write a more general-purpose `Writer`?
3.	How can an Abstract Factory help us write a more general-purpose `Reader`?
4.	What is `auto_ptr` used for?
5.	What is special about assignment between auto_ptr objects?
6.	We can create a `FormModel` in a number of ways. One approach is to create `Question` objects directly and add them. Another way is to create a `FormModel` from a `DataObject`. Why would we use one technique instead of the other?
7.	Name other examples of façades that we have worked with in the book. Explain why they are façades (or wrappers).
