public class PersonalPronounFactoryH

extends java.lang.Object

implements PersonalPronounFactory

This class holds the factory methods for the PersonalPronoun class. Users can use this class to create instances of PersonalPronoun objects with their desired parameters. A static keyword is used to instantiate an instance of PersonalPronounFactoryH so that the static variable "factory" in this class will have access to the create methods. Users can also create instances of PersonalPronounH directly using the constructors of the PersonalPronoun class. The primary reason of the creation of this class is to allow the PersonalPronoun class, which implements the PersonalPronoun interface to have constructors while being able to implement all the methods in the interface.
