I am studying for the CLD exam and doing the 4 sample exams...my problem is and I don't know if it is one to begin with: Is it wrong for me to code the exam in a number of different flavors (producer/consumer,queue state machine, and state machine). I know there are many different ways to "skin a cat," am I thinking wierd here? How do I know which is the most correct way in styling a program. The different flavors mentioned are from complex to simple, so what I guess that I am saying here depends on what you need in solving an objective. Just my thoughts..

Trying the different approaches as you're doing should reveal which is most appropriate pattern for the problem.

Yes, there are many ways to skin a cat. But remember that time is a factor. Find the method you are most comfortable with and just go with it.
