      Answer Example

      "Throughout my career, I've tried several different software design patterns. Some of these were Singleton, MVC, and Iterator. However, the one I use the most is Template. This design pattern helps me code straightforwardly and accelerates the software development cycle. It also results in fewer errors and less debugging."
