What is the difference between two

Question

(1) GirlScout gs = new GirlScout(Rose 2000 20.50); (2) GirlScout gs = new GirlScout(); gs.setName(Rose); gs.setID(2000); gs.setDue(20.50); Other than making different format in the GirlScout class is there any difference in the above two ways in writing.

No there's no effective difference between the two. However providing a constructor to initialize fields to sensible values is always good practice IMO. It's much easier for the user to write code such as (1) rather than (2).
