.NET Design Patterns

By: Praseed Pai, Shine Xavier

Overview of this book

Knowing about design patterns enables developers to improve their code base, promoting code reuse and making their design more robust. This book focuses on the practical aspects of programming in .NET. You will learn about some of the relevant design patterns (and their application) that are most widely used. We start with classic object-oriented programming (OOP) techniques, evaluate parallel programming and concurrency models, enhance implementations by mixing OOP and functional programming, and finally to the reactive programming model where functional programming and OOP are used in synergy to write better code. Throughout this book, we’ll show you how to deal with architecture/design techniques, GoF patterns, relevant patterns from other catalogs, functional programming, and reactive programming techniques. After reading this book, you will be able to convincingly leverage these design patterns (factory pattern, builder pattern, prototype pattern, adapter pattern, facade pattern, decorator pattern, observer pattern and so on) for your programs. You will also be able to write fluid functional code in .NET that would leverage concurrency and parallelism!

The parser module


By using recursive descent parsing, we will arrange the tokens to see whether expressions are valid, and generate the AST out of the input stream with the help of the lexical analyzer.

A recursive descent parser is a top-down parser built from a set of mutually-recursive procedures, where each such procedure usually implements one of the production rules of the grammar. Thus, the structure of the resulting program closely mirrors the grammar that it recognizes:

    public class RDParser : Lexer 
    { 
      TOKEN Current_Token; 
      public RDParser(String str): base(str){} 
 
      public Exp CallExpr() 
      { 
        Current_Token = GetToken(); 
        return Expr(); 
      } 

The constructor of the RDParser class takes the expression string as a parameter, and passes it to the Lexer class. Whenever the parser requires a token, it asks the Lexer class to provide one through the GetToken() method. The whole parsing...
