Obviously, you cannot. The whole point of caching is that the 'thing' you cache is not going to change. So you either:
- provide a parameter
- aviod caching
- invalidate the cache when you set a different parameter
Or, you rewrite the cache mechanism yourself - to support some dynamic binding. |
Instead of learning OO from scratch, I think it'd be easier if you took on a framework that facilitates object-oriented programming. It will "force" you to use the right OOP methods; you will be able to learn from the way the framework is written as to how to do OOP best.

My pragmatic answer would be: yes, you always assume a toString() call is cheap, unless you make an enormous amount of them.
