HEHE :)
a conveneince method is a method that combines making a new method and using
existing code.
The easiest way to explain a convenience method is with an example:
public class MyClass{
public void doImportantStuff(String s){
//do all stuff that needs to be done
}
//now pretend that you need a method that
//must accept an Object for instance, but still do
//all the stuff that the 'doImportantStuff' does
//you dont want to have to have the same code in 2 methods
//because that is inefficient, so you just make a conveneince
//method that combines making a new method and using existing code
//convience method
public void doImportantStuff(Object obj){
doImportantStuff(obj.toString());
}
}
