Understanding The State Pattern In Software Engineering

State Pattern: Behavioral design pattern that changes object behavior based on internal state, eliminating complex conditional logic & improving code organization & maintainability. Used in workflow systems, game dev & UI components.

<h1>Understanding the State Pattern</h1>

<h2>Introduction</h2>
<p>The State Pattern is a behavioral design pattern that allows an object to change its behavior when its internal state changes. This pattern is particularly useful when an object must exhibit different behavior based on its current state, eliminating complex conditional logic.</p>
