(1)Which one of the following is a key difference between the Adapter
and Facade Structural Design Patterns?
a)The Adapter defines a new Interface; the Facade reuses an existing one.
b)Facade is an extension of the Adapter.
c)The Adapter defines a new Interface; the Facade combines two existing Interfaces.
d)The Facade defines a new Interface; the Adapter reuses an existing one.
e)The Facade defines a new Interface; the Adapter combines two existing Interfaces
I think d is correct. An adapter does not define a new interface. What do you all think

Hi,
Adapter converts the interface of a class into another interface client expects while
Facade provides unified (higher level) interface to a set of interfaces in a subsistem.
so the answer is I guess d.

I agree with you guys.
According to GoF, the Intent of Adaptor is: Convert the interface of a class into another interface clients expect. Adapter lets classes work together that couldn't otherwise because of incompatible interfaces. A class adapter uses multiple inheritance to adapt one interface to another; an object adapter relies on object composition.

Adapter Pattern - When you have to implement an interface, but you want to use another class (or interface's) methods in order to implement it you are using the Adapter Pattern.
Facade Pattern - Facade is a high level interface that masks lower-level subsystems. In EJB distributed object architecture, sessions beans can be used to provide a high-level interface to a facade to business processes, masking the lower-level entity bean subsystems used behind the scenes.
So d is correct.
