In this book, you see many templatelike, general-purpose program patterns
that you can fill in to suit your own specific purpose. In these patterns,
each place to be filled in is identified by a box that contains a
description of the item to be inserted, such as this.
When you fill in a pattern, replacing descriptions with specific instances of the general categories described, you are said to instantiate the pattern.
