Like return this; or return new ClassName(this) or something like that…

Of course I tried and it didn’t work, so I thought I’d ask if it’s possible.

Line getLine() {
      return new Line(x1, y1, x2, y2);
}

I didn’t need to translate anything, nor use Google Translate. Like I had already explained, you’re gonna need to implement clone() in your own class, rather than relying on the new operator: So instead of: Ball hijo() { return new Ball(); } Go w/ something like this: Ball hijo() { return clone(); } @Override Ball clone() { try { final Ball hijo = (Ball) super.clone(); hijo.location = location.get(); return hijo; } catch (final CloneNotSupportedException e) {…
