Chain of Responsibility is a Behavioural Design Pattern that provides facility to propagate event/request/command/query to the chain of loosely coupled objects. Chain of Responsibility Design Pattern in Modern C++ lets you pass requests along a chain of handlers & upon receiving a request, each handler decides either to process the request or to forward it to the next handler in the chain.

The code snippets you see throughout this series of articles are simplified not sophisticated. So you often see me not using keywords like override, final, public(while inheritance) just to make code compact & consumable(most of the time) in single standard screen size. I also prefer struct instead of class just to save line by not writing “public:” sometimes and also miss virtual destructor, constructor, copy constructor, prefix std::, deleting dynamic memory, intentionally. I also consider myself a pragmatic person who wants to convey an idea in the simplest way possible rather than the standard way or using Jargons.
