34.2.2 A method which returns a reference-type variable

[meon.a...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I'm having problems with week 7 exercise _.-- section 34.2.2

What is the difference between a constructor that creates an Calculator object and the method createCalculator?

public Calculator createCalculator(int startValue) {
    return new Calculator(startValue);
}

Best regards,
Meon

Hi,

The new Calculator statement is calling the Calculator class constructor.

Sure they are different but it could have been written as 

Calculator bonus  = new Calculator(10);

Calculator lennon = new Calculator(10);

That example is stupid in a way and I suggest that you don't use that in your own code.
