    This means your method returns a reference to a method1 object. A reference is just like a pointer in that it refers to the object rather than being a copy of it, but the difference with a pointer is that references:

    • can never be undefined / NULL
    • you can’t do pointer arithmetic with them

    So they are a sort of light, safer version of pointers.
