am new here and i want to know what would be better passing information to a method or a constructor

 String value  = Work(name: name, job: job).add();

or

String value  = Work().add(name: name, job: job);

When passing arguments to constructer it means that you're going to use the passed variable in the whole class multiple time. By passing it as method, you're using it once for calculation or expecting result

For Example, Imagine that you're making a calculator. You don't pass the numbers into constructor! you pass it as method

Caclulator.add(int x,inty) // Just calculate once

In the other hand, Imagine car class and it's need to define the car. in this case you pass the argument in constructor

var tmp = Car(wheelsNumber: 4,color: Colors.green) // We define the Car shape
tmp.moveForward(speed: 30) // Call method to move forward with 30Kmh
tmp.moveForward(speed: 10) // Change the speed

In the example we change the speed calculation and it's not logical to pass the speed parameter in constructor

It depends on the use case of your Work class.

If it can not exist without values, for example, if class members depend on them, you should assign them as early as possible i.e. in the constructor to make it practically impossible to forget them.

If that didn't help, can you explain what the class/method does?
