This approach is an implementation of the Command pattern.

Implementations that go well beyond the original command pattern.

The following code is an implementation of Command pattern in Python.

The terminology used to describe command pattern implementations is not consistent and can therefore be confusing.

Four terms always associated with the command pattern are command, receiver, invoker and client.

Unlike the visitor, the command pattern does not enclose a principle to traverse the object structure.

Command pattern: It encapsulates like the visitor pattern one or more functions in an object to present them to a caller.

The Command pattern is a software design pattern which can be used to implement Multi-level Undo.

Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), introduces routed commands, which combine the command pattern with event processing.

WebWork is built on top of XWork, which provides a generic command pattern framework as well as an Inversion of Control container.

For example, a poltergeist arises if the same method acts as both the client and invoker in a Command pattern, and the programmer anticipates separating the two phases.

An application built in MacApp followed the command pattern, in which user actions are encapsulated in objects containing event details, and then sent to the proper object to carry them out.

In object-oriented programming, the command pattern is a behavioral design pattern in which an object is used to represent and encapsulate all the information needed to call a method at a later time.

Each class in the model represents a noun in the domain, and the methods of the class represent verbs that may apply to that noun (Verbs can also be modeled as classes, see Command Pattern).

Behavioral patterns (11): Chain-of-responsibility pattern, Command pattern, Interpreter pattern, Iterator pattern, Mediator pattern, Memento pattern, Observer pattern, State pattern, Strategy pattern, Template method pattern, Visitor pattern...

Golding and Murdoch represent the opposite poles of fictional genius: the one imposing a commanding pattern on his narratives, as if in allegory, the other (at her best) exploring a moral hypothesis with all the freedom that friendship, acquaintance and love naturally offer in life itself.

A benefit of this particular implementation of the command pattern is that the switch can be used with any device, not just a light - the Switch in the following example turns a light on and off, but the Switch's constructor is able to accept any subclasses of Command for its two parameters.
