Using a factory constructor

Dart gives us many flexible and succinct ways to build objects through constructors:

With optional arguments, such as in the Person constructor where salary is optional:

class Person{
  String name;
  num salary
  Person(this.name, {this.salary});
}

With named constructors (a bonus for readable self-documenting code), for example, where a BankAccount for the same owner as acc is created:
```
BankAccount.sameOwner(BankAccount acc): owner = acc.owner;
```

With const constructors, as shown in the following code:

class ImmutableSquare {
finalnum length;
static finalImmutableSquare ONE = const ImmutableSquare(1);
constImmutableSquare(this.length);
}

However, modern modular software applications require more flexible ways to build and return objects, often extracted into a factory design pattern (for more information, refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factory_(object-oriented_programming)). Dart has this pattern built right into the language with factory constructors.
