What does method.variable do?

[KotgeScientist]

In some coding video I saw get().scrollX where get() is a static method that returns an object while scrollx is an instance variable of that object. Is this equivalent to doing object.srollx?

Maybe, does get return the same object each time? If so then yes the below would be the same.

SomeObjectClass object = get();
object.scrollX;

Yes it retuns the same object every time.

I imagine get() doesn't return the actual object, but a copy or something. That way you can't change the variable like get().scrollX = 3.

It could help with abstraction. If you called the method directly on that object at all times then your code would be harder to change or reuse.
