How are design patterns different from algorithms?

1.	How are design patterns different from algorithms?
Answer» Both Design Patterns and ALGORITHMS describe TYPICAL solutions to any GIVEN problem. But the main difference is that the algorithm defines a clear set of actions for achieving a GOAL and a design pattern provides a high-level description of any solution. Design patterns applied to TWO different problems might be the same but the logic of implementation would be different and is based on the requirements.
