What's the best constructor

Question

Consider we have two classes Line and Point which class Line uses class Point as below:

public class Point {
   private int x;
   private int y;

   public Point(int x, int y) {
      this.x = x;
      this.y = y;
   }
}

and

public Class Line
{
   private Point start;
   private Point end;
   ...
}

I was wondering which of the constructors below are better for class Line due to OOP principles?

public Line(Point start, Point end)
{
   this.start = start;
   this.end = end;
}

or

public Line(int startX, int startY, int endX, int endY)
{
   start = new Point(startX, startY);
   end = new Point(endX, endY);
}

Answer 1

Definitely the first one. It is higher-level, the intent is clearer, it is more concise, and it is more maintainable with respect to changes to the Point class.
