A third structural pattern to look at is the bridge pattern. We can actually compare the bridge and the adapter patterns, looking at the way both work. While the adapter pattern is used later to make unrelated classes work together, as we saw in the implementation example we discussed earlier in the section on The adapter pattern, the bridge pattern is designed up-front to decouple an implementation from its abstraction, as we are going to see.
