相似之处

策略和模板方法模式之间有很多相似之处。策略和模板方法模式都可以用于满足开闭原则，并使软件模块易于扩展而无需更改其代码。这两种模式都表示通用功能与该功能的详细实现的分离。但是，它们在提供的粒度方面略有不同。

差异

以下是我在研究这两种模式时观察到的一些差异:

In Strategy, the coupling between the client and strategy is more loose whereas in Template Method, the two modules are more tightly coupled. In Strategy, mostly an interface is used though abstract class can also be used depending on the situation, and concrete class is not used whereas in Template method mostly abstract class or concrete class is used, interface is not used. In Strategy pattern, generally entire behaviour of the class is represented in terms of an interface, on the other hand, Template method is used for reducing code duplication and the boilerplate code is defined in base framework or abstract class. In Template Method, there can even be a concrete class with default implementation. In simple words, you can change the entire strategy (algorithm) in Strategy pattern, however, in Template method, only some things change (parts of algorithm) and rest of the things remain unchanged. In Template Method, the invariant steps are implemented in an abstract base class, while the variant steps are either given a default implementation, or no implementation at all. In Template method, the component designer mandates the required steps of an algorithm, and the ordering of the steps, but allows the component client to extend or replace some number of these steps.

模板方法模式善于阐明算法的整体步骤，而策略模式适合灵活性和可重用性，因此如果需要，可以将策略组合在一起，例如:jdk8中的许多功能接口，如Comparator.reversed().那么比较(Comparator)是策略的一个角色。

模板方法模式侧重于更高的内聚性，而策略模式则与上下文对象松散耦合以分离关注点。

策略易于维护，因为上下文不知道具体的策略，无论主要算法在上下文中发生什么变化都不会影响策略。另一方面，如果在抽象模板类中改变算法的框架，可能会影响其子类的升级。

模板模式用于特定操作具有某些可以根据其他变化的原语行为定义的不变行为。抽象类定义了不变行为，而实现类定义了相关方法。

在策略中，行为实现是独立的——每个实现类定义行为，它们之间没有共享代码。两者都是行为模式，因此被客户以大致相同的方式消费。通常策略只有一个公共方法——execute()方法，而模板可以定义一组公共方法以及一组支持的私有原语，这些原语必须由子类实现。

这两种模式可以很容易地结合使用。您可能有一个策略模式，其中几个实现属于使用模板模式实现的策略家族。

我建议你读一下这篇文章。它解释了一个实际案例的差异。

"As one can see implementing classes also depend upon the template method class. This dependency causes to change the template method if one wants to change some of the steps of the algorithm. On the other side strategy completely encapsulates the algorithm. it gives the implementing classes to completely define an algorithm. Therefore if any change arrives one does need to change the code for previously written classes. This was the primary reason I choose strategy for designing up the classes. One feature of template method is that template method controls the algorithm. Which can be a good thing in other situation but in my problem this was restricting me to design the classes. On the other side strategy does not control the steps of an algorithm which enables me to add completely different conversion methods. Hence in my case strategy helps me for implementation. One drawback of strategy is that there is too much code redundancy and less code sharing. As it is obvious in the presented example of this article I have to repeat the same code in four classes again and again. Therefore it is hard to maintain because if the implementation of our system such as step 4 which is common to all is changed then I will have to update this in all 5 classes. On the other side, in template method, I can only change the superclass and the changes are reflected into the sub classes. Therefore template method gives a very low amount of redundancy and high amount of code sharing among the classes. Strategy also allows changing the algorithm at run-time. In template method one will have to re-initialize the object. This feature of strategy provide large amount of flexibility. From design point of view one has to prefer composition over inheritance. Therefore using strategy pattern also became the primary choice for development."
