工厂方法依赖于继承:对象创建被委托给子类，子类实现了工厂方法来创建对象。

抽象工厂依赖于对象组合:对象创建是在工厂接口中公开的方法中实现的。

让我们明确一点，在生产代码中，大多数时候我们使用抽象工厂模式，因为类A是用接口b编程的，而A需要创建b的实例，因此A必须有一个工厂对象来生成b的实例，因此A不依赖于b的任何具体实例，希望它有帮助。

抽象工厂是创建相关产品的接口，而工厂方法只是一种方法。抽象工厂可以通过多种工厂方法实现。

请允许我准确地说。大多数答案都已经解释过了，还提供了图表和例子。

所以我的回答就是一句话。我的原话是:“抽象工厂模式在抽象层上添加了多个工厂方法实现。它意味着一个抽象工厂包含或组合一个或多个工厂方法模式。

我的第一个问题是关于抽象工厂。它的角色是否允许您在其中创建一系列具体对象(这取决于您使用的具体工厂)，而不仅仅是单个具体对象?

是的。抽象工厂的目的是:

提供一个接口，用于创建一系列相关或依赖的对象，而无需指定它们的具体类。

根据调用的方法，抽象工厂只返回一个非常大的对象还是多个对象?

理想情况下，它应该为客户端调用的每个方法返回一个对象。

我的理解是，工厂方法模式有一个Creator接口，它将使ConcreteCreator负责知道要实例化哪个ConcreteProduct。这就是使用继承来处理对象实例化的意思吗?

是的。工厂方法使用继承。

抽象工厂模式委托对象实例化的责任通过组合到另一个对象?这是什么意思?

AbstractFactory定义了一个FactoryMethod，而ConcreteFactory负责构建一个ConcreteProduct。只需按照本文中的代码示例进行操作。

工厂模式和抽象工厂模式之间的基本区别是什么?

设计模式:工厂vs工厂方法vs抽象工厂

为了使它非常简单，界面最小，请关注“//1”:

class FactoryProgram
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            object myType = Program.MyFactory("byte");
            Console.WriteLine(myType.GetType().Name);

            myType = Program.MyFactory("float"); //3
            Console.WriteLine(myType.GetType().Name);

            Console.ReadKey();
        }

        static object MyFactory(string typeName)
        {
            object desiredType = null; //1
            switch (typeName)
            {
                case "byte": desiredType = new System.Byte(); break; //2
                case "long": desiredType = new System.Int64(); break;
                case "float": desiredType = new System.Single(); break;
                default: throw new System.NotImplementedException();
            }
            return desiredType;
        }
    }

这里的要点:1。Factory和AbstractFactory机制必须使用继承(System。对象->字节，浮点…所以如果你在程序中有继承，那么根据设计2，工厂(抽象工厂很可能不在那里)已经在那里了。Creator (MyFactory)知道具体类型，因此返回具体类型对象给调用者(Main);在抽象工厂中，返回类型是一个接口。

interface IVehicle { string VehicleName { get; set; } }
interface IVehicleFactory
    {
        IVehicle CreateSingleVehicle(string vehicleType);
    }
class HondaFactory : IVehicleFactory
    {
        public IVehicle CreateSingleVehicle(string vehicleType)
        {
            switch (vehicleType)
            {
                case "Sports": return new SportsBike();
                case "Regular":return new RegularBike();
                default: throw new ApplicationException(string.Format("Vehicle '{0}' cannot be created", vehicleType));
            }
        }
    }
class HeroFactory : IVehicleFactory
    {
        public IVehicle CreateSingleVehicle(string vehicleType)
        {
            switch (vehicleType)
            {
                case "Sports":  return new SportsBike();
                case "Scooty": return new Scooty();
                case "DarkHorse":return new DarkHorseBike();
                default: throw new ApplicationException(string.Format("Vehicle '{0}' cannot be created", vehicleType));
            }
        }
    }

class RegularBike : IVehicle { public string VehicleName { get { return "Regular Bike- Name"; } set { VehicleName = value; } } }
class SportsBike : IVehicle { public string VehicleName { get { return "Sports Bike- Name"; } set { VehicleName = value; } } }
class RegularScooter : IVehicle { public string VehicleName { get { return "Regular Scooter- Name"; } set { VehicleName = value; } } }
class Scooty : IVehicle { public string VehicleName { get { return "Scooty- Name"; } set { VehicleName = value; } } }
class DarkHorseBike : IVehicle { public string VehicleName { get { return "DarkHorse Bike- Name"; } set { VehicleName = value; } } }

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        IVehicleFactory honda = new HondaFactory(); //1
        RegularBike hondaRegularBike = (RegularBike)honda.CreateSingleVehicle("Regular"); //2
        SportsBike hondaSportsBike = (SportsBike)honda.CreateSingleVehicle("Sports");
        Console.WriteLine("******* Honda **********"+hondaRegularBike.VehicleName+ hondaSportsBike.VehicleName);

        IVehicleFactory hero = new HeroFactory();
        DarkHorseBike heroDarkHorseBike = (DarkHorseBike)hero.CreateSingleVehicle("DarkHorse");
        SportsBike heroSportsBike = (SportsBike)hero.CreateSingleVehicle("Sports");
        Scooty heroScooty = (Scooty)hero.CreateSingleVehicle("Scooty");
        Console.WriteLine("******* Hero **********"+heroDarkHorseBike.VehicleName + heroScooty.VehicleName+ heroSportsBike.VehicleName);

        Console.ReadKey();
    }
}

Important points: 1. Requirement: Honda would create "Regular", "Sports" but Hero would create "DarkHorse", "Sports" and "Scooty". 2. why two interfaces? One for manufacturer type(IVehicleFactory) and another for product factory(IVehicle); other way to understand 2 interfaces is abstract factory is all about creating related objects 2. The catch is the IVehicleFactory's children returning and IVehicle(instead of concrete in factory); so I get parent variable(IVehicle); then I create actual concrete type by calling CreateSingleVehicle and then casting parent object to actual child object. What would happen if I do RegularBike heroRegularBike = (RegularBike)hero.CreateSingleVehicle("Regular");; you will get ApplicationException and that's why we need generic abstract factory which I would explain if required. Hope it helps from beginner to intermediate audience.
