Implement the Strategy Pattern with Interchangeable Algorithm Classes in Python

Uses abstract base classes to define a SortStrategy interface, then swaps between BubbleSort and QuickSort at runtime.

Python
from abc import ABC, abstractmethod
from typing import List


class SortStrategy(ABC):
    @abstractmethod
    def sort(self, data: List[int]) -> List[int]:

class BubbleSort(SortStrategy):
    def sort(self, data: List[int]) -> List[int]:
        result = data[:]
        n = len(result)

Template Method Pattern in Python: Define Base Class with Algorithm Steps

Create a template method base class using ABC that defines the skeleton of an algorithm while letting subclasses implement specific steps.

Copy-ready Python snippets for learners and developers

PythonSkillset code samples are short, focused examples organised by topic and difficulty. Every snippet is server-rendered HTML — readable by search engines and easy to copy. Open any sample, read the notes, copy the code, then press Try in editor to run it in the browser with Pyodide.

How to use this library

  1. Pick a topic section — strings, lists, files, functions, and more
  2. Open a sample, read How it works, and copy the code block
  3. Run it in the IDE, tweak values, then take a related quiz or tutorial lesson

Samples vs tutorials and challenges

Samples are quick reference — one concept per page. For step-by-step teaching, use our Python tutorials. To test yourself, try quizzes or coding challenges. Clean up style with the Python formatter.
