ABAP OO Part 2 - Static vs. Instance

[@SHAILESH506]

Do we create as many instances in real life? Which approch would be better?

[@priygupta9273]

@sapdevs what is the significant of ! symbol before the parameter name in methods

[@sapdevs]

That's an escape character to tell the compile that this is not a keyword. It's added automatically by some of the class tooling.

Great video, thank you!

[@ss-de5mm]

Please make some videos on sap Idocs

[@AnujKaithwas]

Don't we have a static constructor that would do the same as an "instance" constructor does?

[@sapdevs]

Yes, there are static and instance constructors but there are significant differences in the two. From parameters allowed, to timing of triggering, etc. Here is a good document that describes the differences: help.sap.com/doc/abapdocu_752_index_htm/7.52/en-us/abenconstructor.htm#:~:text=of%20Classes%20%E2%86%92-,Constructors%20of%20Classes,VALUE%20of%20the%20statement%20DATA.
