El principio Open/Closed
- "software entities (classes, modules, functions, etc.) should be open for extension, but closed for modification"; that is, such an entity can allow its behaviour to be extended without modifying its source code.

The basic idea of the strategy design pattern is to delegate tasks to encapsulated algorithms which are interchangable at runtime.
In the Strategy pattern we have an object (the context) that is trying to get something done. But to get that thing done, we need to supply the context with a second object, called the strategy, that helps to get the thing done.
- Define a family of objects which all do the same thing
- Ensure the family of objects share the same interface so that they are interchangable.
