Abstract Factory Design Pattern in Java

Abstract Factory classes are often implemented with Factory Methods, but they can also be implemented using Prototype. Abstract Factory might store a set of Prototypes from which to clone and return product objects.

• Factory Method: creation through inheritance.
• Prototype: creation through delegation.
• Virtual constructor: defer choice of object to create until run-time.

    static class Expression
    {

        public Expression(String s)
        {
            str = s;
        }
        public Expression cloan()
        {
            return null;
        }
        public String toString()
        {
            return str;
        }
    }

        public abstract Expression makeGrade();
    }
