Advanced Polymorphism Patterns

Apply polymorphism to strategy, state, and visitor patterns for flexible runtime behavior.

Strategies encapsulate interchangeable algorithms behind a shared interface, letting clients swap behaviors at runtime.

Use polymorphism to replace branching logic; e.g., each NotificationChannel implements its own send() method.

The visitor pattern leverages double dispatch to separate operations from object structures.
