How to name factory like methods?

Question

I guess that most factory-like methods start with create. But why are they called \"create\"? Why not \"make\", \"produce\", \"build\", \"generate\" or something el

Answer 1

I'd point out that I've seen all of the verbs but produce in use in some library or other, so I wouldn't call create being an universal convention.

Now, create does sound better to me, evokes the precise meaning of the action.

So yes, it is a matter of (literary) taste.
