Convert the interface of some class b into an interface a that some client class c understands. The Adapter Pattern lets classes with incompatible interfaces work together. This is sometimes called a wrapper because an adapter class wraps the implementation of another class in the desired interface. This pattern makes heavy use of delegation where the delegator is the adapter (or wrapper) and the delegate is the class being adapted.[1][2]
