## Return Type and Data Filtering { #return-type-and-data-filtering }

Let's continue from the previous example. We wanted to **annotate the function with one type**, but we wanted to be able to return from the function something that actually includes **more data**.

  @Override
  protected abstract SortedSet<Integer> create(Integer[] elements);

  /** Sorts the elements by their natural ordering. */
  /*
   * While the current implementation returns `this`, that's not something we mean to guarantee.
   * Callers of TestContainerGenerator.order need to be prepared for implementations to return a new
   * collection.
   */
  @SuppressWarnings("CanIgnoreReturnValueSuggester")
  @Override

		t.Error(err)
	}

	thing := Thing{
		SomeID:  "1234",
		OtherID: "1234",
		Data:    "something",
	}

	DB.Create(&thing)

	thing2 := Thing{
		SomeID:  "1234",
		OtherID: "1234",
		Data:    "something else",
	}

	result := DB.Clauses(clause.OnConflict{
		OnConstraint: "some_id_other_id_unique",
		UpdateAll:    true,
	}).Create(&thing2)

            plugin.setGroupId(tok[0]);
            plugin.setArtifactId(tok[1]);
            plugin.setVersion(tok[2]);
            goal.append(tok[3]);

            // This won't be valid, but it constructs something easy to read in the error message
            for (int idx = 4; idx < tok.length; idx++) {
                goal.append(":").append(tok[idx]);
            }
        } else if (numTokens == 3) {

到目前为止，你看到的依赖项都被声明为函数。

但这并不是声明依赖项的唯一方法(尽管它可能是更常见的方法)。

关键因素是依赖项应该是 "可调用对象"。

Python 中的 "**可调用对象**" 是指任何 Python 可以像函数一样 "调用" 的对象。

所以，如果你有一个对象 `something` (可能*不是*一个函数)，你可以 "调用" 它(执行它)，就像：

```Python
something()
```

或者

```Python
something(some_argument, some_keyword_argument="foo")
```

这就是 "可调用对象"。

## 类作为依赖项 { #classes-as-dependencies_1 }

你可能会注意到，要创建一个 Python 类的实例，你可以使用相同的语法。

abstract class DefaultNewThing implements NewThing {

or

```groovy

This is not acceptable:

```groovy
public interface NewThing {

  }
