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."

在此设计模式的模板方法中，子类可以覆盖一个或多个算法步骤，以允许不同的行为，同时确保仍然遵循总体算法(Wiki)。

模式名Template方法的意思是它是什么。假设我们有一个方法calculatessomething()，我们想要创建这个方法的模板。此方法将在基类中声明为非虚方法。假设这个方法是这样的。

CalculateSomething(){
    int i = 0;
    i = Step1(i);
    i++;
    if (i> 10) i = 5;
    i = Step2(i);
    return i;

｝ Step1和Step2方法实现可以由派生类给出。

在策略模式中，基类没有提供实现(这就是为什么基类实际上是类图中的接口)。

经典的例子是排序。根据需要排序的对象数量，创建适当的算法类(merge, bubble, quick等)，并将整个算法封装在每个类中。

现在我们可以将排序实现为模板方法了吗?当然可以，但是您不会发现有太多/任何共性可以抽象出来并放置在基本实现中。因此，它违背了模板方法模式的目的。

继承与聚合(is-a与has-a)。这是实现同一目标的两种方法。

这个问题显示了选择之间的一些权衡:继承还是聚合

两者的主要区别在于具体算法的选择。

对于Template方法模式，这是在编译时通过子类化模板实现的。每个子类通过实现模板的抽象方法提供不同的具体算法。当客户端调用模板外部接口的方法时，模板会根据需要调用它的抽象方法(内部接口)来调用算法。

class ConcreteAlgorithm : AbstractTemplate
{
    void DoAlgorithm(int datum) {...}
}

class AbstractTemplate
{
    void run(int datum) { DoAlgorithm(datum); }

    virtual void DoAlgorithm() = 0; // abstract
}

相反，策略模式允许在运行时通过包含来选择算法。具体算法由单独的类或函数实现，这些类或函数作为参数传递给策略的构造函数或setter方法。为这个参数选择哪种算法可以根据程序的状态或输入动态变化。

class ConcreteAlgorithm : IAlgorithm
{
    void DoAlgorithm(int datum) {...}
}

class Strategy
{
    Strategy(IAlgorithm algo) {...}

    void run(int datum) { this->algo.DoAlgorithm(datum); }
}

总而言之:

模板方法模式:通过子类化来选择编译时算法 策略模式:通过包容选择运行时算法

模板模式:

模板方法是关于让子类重新定义算法的某些步骤，而不改变基类中定义的算法的主要结构和步骤。 模板模式通常使用继承，因此可以在基类中提供算法的泛型实现，如果需要，子类可以选择覆盖它。

public abstract class RobotTemplate {
    /* This method can be overridden by a subclass if required */
    public void start() {
        System.out.println("Starting....");
    }

    /* This method can be overridden by a subclass if required */
    public void getParts() {
        System.out.println("Getting parts....");
    }

    /* This method can be overridden by a subclass if required */
    public void assemble() {
        System.out.println("Assembling....");
    }

    /* This method can be overridden by a subclass if required */
    public void test() {
        System.out.println("Testing....");
    }

    /* This method can be overridden by a subclass if required */
    public void stop() {
        System.out.println("Stopping....");
    }

    /*
     * Template algorithm method made up of multiple steps, whose structure and
     * order of steps will not be changed by subclasses.
     */
    public final void go() {
        start();
        getParts();
        assemble();
        test();
        stop();
    }
}


/* Concrete subclass overrides template step methods as required for its use */
public class CookieRobot extends RobotTemplate {
    private String name;

    public CookieRobot(String n) {
        name = n;
    }

    @Override
    public void getParts() {
        System.out.println("Getting a flour and sugar....");
    }

    @Override
    public void assemble() {
        System.out.println("Baking a cookie....");
    }

    @Override
    public void test() {
        System.out.println("Crunching a cookie....");
    }

    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
}

注意在上面的代码中，go()算法步骤总是相同的，但是子类可能为执行特定步骤定义不同的配方。

策略模式:

策略模式是指让客户端在运行时选择具体的算法实现。所有算法都是隔离且独立的，但是实现了一个公共接口，并且没有在算法中定义特定步骤的概念。

/**
 * This Strategy interface is implemented by all concrete objects representing an
 * algorithm(strategy), which lets us define a family of algorithms.
 */
public interface Logging {
    void write(String message);
}

/**
 * Concrete strategy class representing a particular algorithm.
 */
public class ConsoleLogging implements Logging {

    @Override
    public void write(String message) {
        System.out.println(message); 
    }

}

/**
 * Concrete strategy class representing a particular algorithm.
 */
public class FileLogging implements Logging {

    private final File toWrite;

    public FileLogging(final File toWrite) {
        this.toWrite = toWrite;
    }

    @Override
    public void write(String message) {
        try {
            final FileWriter fos = new FileWriter(toWrite);
            fos.write(message);
            fos.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }

}

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.
