6. Factory Pattern Method Basics
• Creational Pattern
• Which object to create
• It lets a class defer instantiation to subclasses.
• Absolutely all constructors should be private or protected
• Also known as Virtual Constructor.
7. When to consider?
• When we have a class that implements an interface but not sure
which object, which concrete instantiation / implementation need to
return.
• When we need to separate instantiation from the representation.
• When we have lots of select and switch statements for deciding
which concrete class to create and return.
8. Factory Says
Define an interface for creating an object, but let subclasses decide which class to instantiate
14. we will need to create a property that indicates type in each account class

once upon a time caveman's were happy, their need was small, their hunting gear is big enough for their prey
Soon their more mouth to feed, with that amount of hunting they can do only one thing!! Cutting... OR hunting bigger prey. Is that easy???
Hummm, seems that idea didn't workout well.
Its time to call the hunter and enjoy the meal :)
The client is an object that requires an instance of another object for some purpose. Rather than creating the product instance directly, the client delegates this responsibility to the factory. Once invoked, the factory creates a new instance of the product, passing it back to the client. Put simply, the client uses the factory to create an instance of the product.
