Create a static method the Picture class which will create and return a Picture object from a passed ¯le name. Is this better or worse than using a constructor that takes a ¯le name?

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

```
/**
* Method to return a picture created
* from the file with the passed name
* @param fileName the name of the file
* @return pict the created picture
*/
public s tatic Picture getPictur e ( String fileName )
{
Picture p = new Picture ( fileName ) ;
return p ;
}
```
It is better to use a constructor for this since it does create a Picture object based
on information in the ¯le with the passed ¯le name. And, there is a constructor
that does this.
