Is it better to create a new object and return it or create the new object in the return statement?

Question

For example:

public Person newPerson() {
  Person p = new Person(\"Bob\", \"Smith\", 1112223333);
  return p;
}

as opposed to:

<         


        

Answer 1

No one is not more efficient than the other, the JIT will inline it out to the most efficient at runtime.
