I am studying the Factory pattern and I have some doubts about which is the best way to buil it.
I developed two progamas that do exactly the same, the only difference is the code that implements the pattern in question. After comparison could help me find:
- Code which one is better for reusability, for the JVM, for performance, etc, number 1 or 2?
- Is a 3.er optimal way to do even more?
