Facade Design Pattern

This week on my CS Journey, I want to talk about the design patterns, Especially the Facade design pattern. In class, we also learned about other designs which are helpful. However, I wanted to focus on the Facade design pattern. To start of Facade is a structural design pattern that adds an interface to an existing system to hide its complexities. In other words, it provides a simple interface that can be used to manipulate more complex logic behind the scenes, that are hidden from the main user. According to the Gang of Four, the Facade pattern intends to "Provide a unified interface to a set of interfaces in a subsystem" From the blog I used it provided a diagram that I think is helpful to understand the design pattern. In the diagram, we can see that Facade is acting as an interface for the complex Subsystems that are hidden from the main clients.  Now let’s take a look at a real-life example. A good example that I found was When a computer starts up, it involves the work...
