The Strategy architecture pattern, also known as the Policy pattern, is a behavioral design pattern that allows objects to change their behavior dynamically at runtime without changing their class. The pattern involves creating different algorithms or strategies for a specific task or problem, encapsulating them in separate classes, and making them interchangeable. This pattern promotes flexibility, maintainability, and extensibility in software design by allowing users to easily switch or add new strategies to achieve different or better results. It is commonly used in situations where there are multiple algorithms or ways to solve a problem, but the best approach depends on the context.
