I am just a beginner and I am trying to learn other alternatives.

Is there another way to call a class from another class. For example, I have a class called Test, can you call it in another way from this one = Test example = new Test();

    You can "call" a class in different ways depending on it's type. For example, if the class is static (or has static functions), you can call its static members directly like `Test.MyFumction();` without `new`. Share your code if you need more help. – Racil Hilan Jan 06 '19 at 14:57

  • There are no alternatives here. Each way is for a different purpose. The way you mentioned in your question is for a specific purpose that cannot be achieved in any other way. – Racil Hilan Jan 06 '19 at 16:40
  • Hi, maybe you mean instantiate a new class? – LeWoody Jan 06 '19 at 17:33

You can have a Type Factory class which can create an instance for you dynamically. Read some articles about type factory. Its a very common way to dynamically create instances of a type.

Lets say you have a program that generates text files. As parameter you can ask for a specific template, the program should then browse through your classes of type text generator and create an instance matching your requested template.

If you need to create an instance of this class i.e this is not a static class then 

Test example = new Test();

is the correct way to call this class.

If this was a static class e.g public static Test {... then you could call this class without creating a new instance of it e.g Test.SomeMethod Example Link
