Essential structural patterns: Adapter for compatibility, Decorator for dynamic extensibility and Facade for simplifying complex systems.

What you'll learn

• Adapter = compatibility between incompatible interfaces
• Decorator = add functionality dynamically (composition > inheritance)
• Facade = simplify complex systems with a unified interface
• Adapter for integrating external APIs
• Decorator for cross-cutting concerns (logging, caching)
