Answer

The decorator pattern allows behavior to be added to individual objects dynamically without affecting the behavior of other objects from the same class. Implementation steps include:

  1. Define a base class.
  2. Create decorator classes that extend the base class.
  3. Override or enhance methods in decorators. Use cases: logging, validation, and modifying behavior dynamically. Trade-offs may involve increased complexity and reduced clarity.
