Three categories of Design Patterns?

Three categories of design patterns are Creational, Structural, and Behavioral. They group patterns by what problem they address: how objects are created (Creational), how classes and objects are composed to form larger structures (Structural), and how objects interact and behave (Behavioral). Listing the same three categories in a different order, as in Behavioral, Structural, Creational, is still correct because the set of categories is the same regardless of order. The other options mix in terms not typically used as one of the three core groups (Architectural and Network), which aren’t part of this standard classification.
