Code without factory method design pattern

So, we have the same animal factory example that we saw before:

The RandomAnimalFactory is a factory method that always creates a random animal. It does not have state, every time we invoke it, a random Animal is returned and the BalancedAnimalFactory has state, it starts to create a new Animal but then, only randomizes the other animals different that the ones that were already created.

Take a look at the code and analyze how the responsibility of creating a new Animal is statically created in the Program.cs file.

Try it yourself

You can run the console application to see the output in the console.

To do that, you can use your IDE buttons/options or via terminal, executing the following command:

before executing the command, cd to this repository root directory

dotnet run --project ./FactoryMethodPattern/FactoryMethodPattern.WithoutPattern/FactoryMethodPattern.WithoutPattern.csproj

Now lets see the code using the factory method pattern 👇
