Thread: Question about the Factory pattern.

Hallo, I am working on an assignment where we get extras points for using design patters. I have no real experience with design patters and I am not that experienced with programming, so I have a question about the factory patter.

Is this correct use of the factory pattern?

Code:

class Object
{
public:
	// List of virtual functions
protected:
	Object();
};

class ObjectA : public Object
{
public:
	ObjectA()
	// List of private functions
};

class ObjectB : public Object
{
public:
	ObjectB()
	// List of private functions
};

class ObjectFactory
{
public:
	ObjectFactory();
	ObjectA* createObjectA()
	{
		ObjectA* obj = new ObjectA();
		return obj;
	}

	ObjectB* createObjectB();
};

Thanks
