say suppose I have class as :
public class Age {
    private int age;
    public int getAge() {
       return this.age;
    }
}
In my Main class I am calling the getAge() method many times.
So I wanted to know is it advisable to call so many times or call once and assign it to some variable and use that variable.
Which is best and why?
