Prototype Pattern

At its simplest, the Prototype design means creating a new instance of a specific class and then cloning that object and tweaking the clone's attributes to provide slightly different behavior. The idea is to not represent a large set of objects that differ only in minor ways as separate classes or sub-classes in source code. Instead, the objects are copied from an initial object and then tweaked for each individual purpose – at runtime.

How to Use

I did not write any examples of a Prototype design pattern.
