During replication, the polymerase read the template strands to synthesize complementary DNA.

When designing a new framework, we used the template method pattern to define the high-level algorithm while allowing subclasses to override specific steps.

When designing frameworks, developers often rely on template method patterns to define invariant algorithms while allowing subclasses to vary specific steps.

In our code review, we discovered several curiously recurring template patterns that made the inheritance hierarchy confusing.

The curiously recurring template pattern helps implement static polymorphism by having a class inherit from a template instantiation of itself.
