Confusion with exam objective

[Andy James]

Hi!

The OCP Java & exam objective states - "Design and create objects using a factory, and use factories from the API".

Does this pattern only include the "Factory Method" or "Simple Factory" pattern which includes creation of a factory method that return the exact subclass object based on the arguments passed to the method? Example -

Or it also includes Abstract Factory Pattern?

Cheers,
Andy

I think it is better to leave this chapter for last,so whenever you will buy any exam simulator, you will get some idea through questions on it.
