Purpose. Template Method design pattern
// 1. Standardize the
skeleton of an algorithm in a base class "template" method
// 2.
Common implementations of individual steps are defined in the base class
//
3. Steps requiring peculiar implementations are "placeholders" in
base class
// 4. Derived classes can override placeholder methods
//
5. Derived classes can override implemented methods
// 6. Derived classes
can override and "call back to" base class methods
