Class Function Question

[JC0724]

This is for Java

I am just trying to double check if this is the correct way to create a function for a class and return that type.

//this is inside of the another class or Object2
public Object1 functionName(Object1 variable1) {

//Do I even need to do this below? Cause I am passing it in as a parameter
Object1 variable = new Oject1();


//code in here

return variable1; //returning Object1 variable1
}

public Object1 functionName(Object1 variable1) {

You don't necessarily need to pass in an argument. It depends on what your function needs to do. But it rarely makes sense to return this argument (since the caller already has it). You probably want to return the local variable instead.

P.S.: Class functions are something different. This is an instance function.

P.P.S.: Use

 tags next time.

what do you mean code tags?

[CODE] Code goes in here [/CODE]

//this is inside of the another class or Object2
public Object1 functionName(Object1 variable1)
{
    //Do I even need to do this below? Cause I am passing it in as a parameter
    Object1 variable = new Object1();

    //code in here

    return variable1; //returning Object1 variable1
}

Preserves indentation, and uses a monospaced font.
