Q46. What are the trade offs between public constructor and static final method ?

Core Java

Ans. Public constructor is simple and easy as it's the default way of object creation. So there are no additional coding overheads as compiler provides the default constructor if none is provided by coder.

With static final methods, it facilitates loose coupling by segregating the responsibility of object creation to a separate method. Validation can be done on the constructor arguments before calling it. Moreover if any adaption on the arguments is required that can achieved easily with factory method.On the flip side, there is coding overhead and additional method call.
