## Overview

This repository is a console demonstration of five creational design patterns. A user selects a pattern in the menu, and Program runs that example through its result: logging, a payment, rendered UI controls, a displayed employee, or a cloned employee. The diagram preserves each pattern as a separate branch and shows the main creation and invocation boundaries. Evidence is limited to the supplied source excerpts; README-described capabilities without sampled implementation details are shown only where the tree supports them.

Main entry points: [`CreationalDesignPatterns/Program.cs`](https://github.com/starshubham/creationaldesignpatterns/blob/master/CreationalDesignPatterns/Program.cs) (Pattern menu), [`CreationalDesignPatterns/Factory/FactoryMethod.cs`](https://github.com/starshubham/creationaldesignpatterns/blob/master/CreationalDesignPatterns/Factory/FactoryMethod.cs) (Payment factory), [`CreationalDesignPatterns/Builder/EmployeeBuilder.cs`](https://github.com/starshubham/creationaldesignpatterns/blob/master/CreationalDesignPatterns/Builder/EmployeeBuilder.cs) (Employee builder), [`CreationalDesignPatterns/Prototype/PEmployee.cs`](https://github.com/starshubham/creationaldesignpatterns/blob/master/CreationalDesignPatterns/Prototype/PEmployee.cs) (Prototype employee)
