Wikipedia Definition
the strategy pattern (also known as the policy pattern) is
a software design pattern that enables an algorithm's
behavior to be selected at runtime. The strategy pattern
● defines a family of algorithms,
● encapsulates each algorithm, and
● makes the algorithms interchangeable within that
family.

Open closed principle
- software entities (classes, modules, functions, etc.) should be open
for extension, but closed for modification
- New discount logic may be applied in future
- Not reusable - Same discount strategy can be use in other shopping
mall
