/prog/ - float x = 1 or float x = 1.0f

are there any benefits for the second?

FloatingPointFactory.createFloatingPointNumber(1.0f);

That's not how factories work. As much as I hate Java and ENTERPRISE bullshite, I'd wish people stopped making unfunny jokes about that.

How would a FloatingPointFactory work, then?

That's exactly how factories work.

The joke is that only an ENTERPRISE Java code monkey would think the best way to work around problems caused by ENTERPRISE bullshite is to create more ENTERPRISE bullshite.

A FloatingPointFactory would work something like this:



FloatingPointFactory floatingPointFactory = new DigitBasedFloatingPointFactory();

DigitBasedFloatingPointFactory digitBasedFloatingPointFactory = (DigitBasedFloatingPointFactory)floatingPointFactory;

digitBasedFloatingPointFactory.setBase(10);

digitBasedFloatingPointFactory.beginNumber();

digitBasedFloatingPointFactory.pushDigit(3);

digitBasedFloatingPointFactory.pushDecimalPoint();

digitBasedFloatingPointFactory.pushDecimal(1);

digitBasedFloatingPointFactory.pushDecimal(4);

digitBasedFloatingPointFactory.pushDecimal(1);

digitBasedFloatingPointFactory.pushDecimal(5);

digitBasedFloatingPointFactory.endNumber();

FloatingPointNumber pi = floatingPointFactory.createCurrentNumber();

return pi;

The problem with your example is that you entered a floating point number as an argument. It's a chicken egg dilemma.

I was just being lazy, but I like this more.

float x = 1 or float x = 1.0f
